RE:Nuclear Deal
by Gopal on Jul 21, 2008 01:07 AM

The energy addition is just 10% of total after a decade or more depending upon the time of completion of projects. There will be unsolicited delays created by 'special interests'. Total cost of the project will be around 3 lakh crores which will be invested in twenty years. The Indian financial system can not absorb such huge investment for such a short period which will create unprecedented inflation beyond imagination. Taking into account the cost addition due to decommissioning, the unit price will be Rs40/- per unit for the energy generated by the nuclear plants. The question of uninterrupted supply is doubtful. The system condition after 20 years depend heavily on other sources of supply. Unless there is a proportionate addition from other sources there is no guarantee about uninterrupted supply. The damage to the atmosphere is irreparable!! Radiation hazard is the most important problem to be considered -technically and financially.
In my opinion our approach should be 'to live and to let live'. Not to be a super power and / or to rule another country. Above all we should have freedom of thinking and to act according to our consciousness.
