From PETER CHANDLER
New Delhi, IS Premier Nehru planning to manufacture atomic weapons and, so rival China's atomic strength in Asia? He is keeping the Indian people and the world guessing on this vital question,
its fearful bombs, want India to give such undertakings?”
India has invited world lenders for the construction of her first 300-megawatt nuclear power station, which will also produce plutonium suitable for military use.
But Nehru and his atomic, energy chiot, Dr Homi Bhabha, are strongly opposed to giving any guarantees against using plutonium for producing atomle weapons.

The official line in Delhi 15: "We do not want any atomic how weapons though we know to produce them theoretically." Any other line would bring down Nehru's Government, for India's 450 million population has been brought up in pacifist traditions.
But a senior official of the Atomic Energy Department in Delhi told me today: "Why should the West, armed with all

France, recently arrived in the atomic Beld, has already expressed interest, She has assigned a senior engineer to work
here in the uranium mines. President de Gaulle may not be so stringent in his de- mand for guaranteos.
And privately hints have been dropped here that Moscow, contrary to her normal practice, may tender to provide plant for the new station.
It is also revealed that India is planning not just one nuclear power station, but a chain of at least three. The ftrat, at the tiny coastal town of Taranpore, 80 miles north of Bombay, will be ready for operation in 1982. A second is planned in the North, and a third in South India, away from coalfields,
