DO we need nuclear plants ???
by Reporter on Jul 31, 2008 03:57 PM

Think.

Dont we hv any other option than nuclear fuel ?

Do consider all factors when u comapare all sort of energy production . Raw material is not the sole consideration. The factors such as maintanance, handling of nuclear waste without any harm to environment , humans and all bio and non bio things in the locality, decommissioning of the facilities etc.

Does anybody thing it is a simple and routine job like in any other chemical plant. All materials exposed to the nuclear material are considered as radiactive waste and treated accordingly.

In case of a war, it is very easy destroy India. Nobody has to drop a nuclear bomb in India, but they just hv to drop a bomb in nuclear plant.

I dont know whether anybody is aware of the fact is that american companies will be involved (they should be, as per the deal) in these projects only if they get a guarantee that these companies will not be responsible for any disasters occuring in these plants & neighbourhoods and they dont have to give any compensation.

Who will be suffering then? Only our people.. if govt. decides do something, then it will be good , otherwise, i dont know.

Why do we welcome such projects even when we had faced disasters like BHOPAL tragedy. Has anybody done anything in favour of those poor people there .

I'm not against the deal, but I am against the nuclear plants in India. We must try other sources of energy. It will be much efficient when we consider all these risks/ fact
