India`s nuclear tests are for science and research. Not strictly for defence. Even if used as deterrents, the countries which challenge India with nuclear equipment are China and Pakistan. China informs their friends the communists their strategy and communists support China even if they invade India (they did it in 1962). Pakistan was,is, and will be ruled my military dictators obedient to U.S.A. Why worry.
If India is capable of making N Bomb. Why it can not make its own N Energy Station ? We have very hight thorium deposits in South (Indian OCean - near Ram Sethu) What is hurdling us to go for our own Independant N Energy It SEEMS Mr. Manmohan is hiding something that we may not have even a N Bomb so this deal is necessary to get atlest N based power station

Our thorium based power reactor are in test stage only. Not into commercial production. Proved one are uranium reactors and we don't have enough uranium. Again it need huge investment and tool and tech. for commercially viable power stations.

Mr. Joyee, why this could not done? and where are we lacking? by this time, you should have an answer. In any deal, both parties gain, unequal deals do not sustain for long. It appears, you are anti US by default. Think in the interest of the country not for communists or oppposition.

I am not Anti US, but u shud learn that US has never done favor to us, most of the time it has used us, It is not supporting India's candidature as Permenant member in UNSC, It did not supported India during war against terror and joined hands with Pakistan and the list is endless and do u have answer Why US is mum on our Nuclear Test in future ? It seem u suffer from Inferiority complex from US and so blindly supporting it without evalution Analysis and Evaluation is the base of any deal we entre into particulary when our soverientiy is at risk

Tapping electrical energy from a nuclear technology is vey much different from an explosive nuclear bomb or an atomic bomb. A nuclear reactor generating electricity is huge and also cheap(the cost of electricity ,I mean) but it involves a lot of alloy metal spare parts which India do not possess and it also means newer,latest technologies with highly enriched nuclear fuel etc., So an atom bomb is lot easier to manufacture than a nuclear reactor to produce electricity.
OUR pm has never said that it will make use of nuclear material supplied by u.s.a or others, will be used for making weapons.we shall have every right to make n.bombs from our own processed uranium.america should have no say on our own establishments.i think due care must have been taken in the agreement,if not we should make it clear.making bombs or no bombs is irrelevant in this agreement.this is a civilian agreement for peaceful use of nuclear energy.let us not stop this.price is main consideration.american products are very costly.atleast we should have one plant running in his country of american technology.experts shall be engaged to study deeply the impact of this agreement in our future course.do not blutly reject this agreement.give good signal to the world.

Well history of USA suggest it never does favor to any country unless It has its own benefits more in it. AND SPECIALLY IN CASE OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER And Track record of last 60 years of India, India has always succumbed to US pressure So this deal is very senesitive lloking the History of both countries and needs to be auidted and critically evaluated before being signed

Which country does favor to India witout it's own benefits? Every country thinks their own benefits.No country does favor to india or any other country without their own benefits.
It is fine it should be audited thoroughly and reviewed before signing..
