Friends, I am not against nuclear energy. But we must analyze both sides. What was done here? A few (2-5) men handled the deal. Are we not a democratic republic? Don't we have an elected parliament, responsible media, visionary intelligentsia? All papers were handled within the shroud of confidentiality. A deal which has far reaching influence should be debated in open forums. Even MMS had declared several times that a decision will be taken after a consensus. What is the expediency in moving in a clandestine manner? After all we get additional 10% of the present installed capacity of power after a decade. Just for the sake of this 10% we signed off our freedom and sovereignty without following the democratic principles for the sake of Uranium. As time pass on we can not afford to buy that. Then comes the decommissioning cost which is astronomically high at the present level. After 20-30 years imagine the cost. Then what about radiation hazards and terrorism? God alone can save us from that. Why should we make India a junk yard of Nuclear Waste? Time will tell more about hidden agenda!!! We have Thorium deposit for 300 years. The know how will be available in five years. Why not wait for 5-10 years to generate nuclear energy from OUR Thorium with OUR know-how?
