N-Deal_call to Indians
by Gopal on Jul 18, 2008 12:17 AM

India signed a declaration in 2005 allowing US to make a Law for India to follow.
US passed Hyde Act which is the enabling act for the 123 agreement which we signed later chaining India stand still in all future nuclear related programmes.
Discussions (Secret) for Nuclear Projects worth 40000MW is completed and waiting for signature in the opportune time. Shape of project and conditions incorporated are kept secret. These projects are slated to be completed by 2030 (10% of total). The availability of infrastructure in India for such huge and risky projects is doubtful. There is every possibility that prefabricated plants (Nuclear junks) will be brought here to reduce period of project's. The project cost is 3,20,000 Crores (appx) at the present rate and taking the inflation it will be 3 or 4 times more. We do not have enough capital to take up the project from our own resources for such large investments. We take foreign loan at the dictated conditions with several strings attached (Huge burden to the coming generations). The unit price for energy will be not less than Rs20/-. Taking into account the decommissioning cost ($3400million at the present cost-data per plant per year for 10-15 years) the unit cost will be more than Rs40/-.
