Dear Fernandes, Indias 3 stage nuclear programme is great vision and appropriate to Indian requirement and situation. As per this programme,We have a prototype Fast Breeder reactor and the first commericial Fast Breeder reactor is on the anvil.Yes our Fast Breeder Reactor is not "On Paper" and No one is any where near to this level. We need to reprocess the 1 st stage spent fuel.We are not lagging behind any one in this technology. We have our own Heavy water Plants and despite all kinds of sanctions they are producing for a long time now.(So don't have any illussion of "Modern" technology coming out of Uncle sams hat. True we need Uranium but the cost which we can pay is not 123.Let Manmohan Sigh,Kapil Sibal & Co use all their energy, sophistry,double talk (i mean diplomacy) etc in finding an out of box way to secure Uranium Supply instead of urging India to become a neighbourhood henchman of US. Pls do not bring the straw men of Enery requirement,importance of nuclear power etc etc.Save it to tell to people who question the requirement of nuclear power.
