GET YOUR IDEAS CORRECT before commenting. the initial cost of investment is high. but we have already spent money on that- the main problem is lack of fuel. not that we have adequate numbers of reactors- we need more, but the amount of energy the nuclear fuel can make is unlimited. once it starts, the cost of electricity is going to be much more cheaper (production cost and maintainance cost) than any other form of energy. You have to be in north america to see it and beleive it. one 50 floor building has all its lights on 24 hours 7 days a week (all holidays and weekends) even when there is no single person in that building. Every system is electronic- which is not posible without electricity. if there is a power failure in a small area- its a national news. this is only possible with nuclear, no other form of energy can provide this. one city with less than 10 lakh population in north america, consumes more electricity than an average state with 5 crore population. and about blasts- those occured 25 yrs ago-not with the available technology. Do you think the US and other organizations are carzy to give us fuel if we dont have the tech? or did you here of any blasts in the nuclear reactors in the last 10 yrs any where in the world?? DONT WRITE STUPID COMMENTS
