Mr Subrahmanyam, What you have implied in the latter part of your article is the lack of uranium is holding back the Indian Nuclear programing. While to a certain extent your statement is correct , your overall conclusions aren't. It so happens that India and China are currently researching the use of Thorium as fertile fuel(this to normal people means fuel burnt along side enriched Uranium in a reactor). I say this with confidence that given 3-5 years there would be a successful thorium reactor in india. Question now is why Thorium , well india has the world's largest supply of thorium and a thorium cycle eventually leads to a uranium cycle.(its daughter upon fission is Thorium). So there ..some thing for everyone to cheer about.
