MUMBAI: Owing to a critical shortage of indigenously produced uranium, only three of India's 17 nuclear reactors are working to their full potential. Data available with TOI shows 11 nuclear reactors were not functioning up to the mark and three others remained completely shut down for long-term maintenance till November 2009.
