RE:Mere hogwash!

Hi Deepak,

You are mistaken. Back in 1985 when they had a target of 10000mw by 2000, they did not know about the nuclear tests.

The fact is we donot have enough uranium to generate 10000mw of power, unless we import uranium. The imports were blocked following nuclear tests. Our existing plants are not running at 100% so why do we want to build more?

The FBR technology from my information is on track, what threating are you talking about? It is a very delicate technology and even many nuclear countries have not totally mastered it. I do think they are very much on track.

And regarding the Thorium reactors, most other countries are in the research phase too regarding that. There are no thorium reactors out there, and india might be the first to actually do it. So stop cribbing anf start appreciating some things after learning the facts.
