hats off to Manmohan, even taken statements on his life for this deal..
India is in a die hard situation today as far as electricity production in our country is concern.
Thermal energy cannot be utilised since quality of coal what we get here is difficult. grade III, Dams are option but public dealings & land aquasition is no less problems , try all sources it'll be difficult & burdensome not on good cost benifits
while nuclear energy is best & relatively cheap energy once is production is started, that is capital cost may be high initially but power is cheap., we all know POWER CRISIS in India today, one of the major hurdle in making India super power,
also don't forget our other nuclear reactors, TAPS,RAPS,KAPS NAPS...ALL Require nuclear fuel to run called URANIUM , even though we sorted option through THORIUM.. it could be limited..
