The Nuke Deal is important to India as it will give India not only the latest civilian nuke tech, but also open up the market to more tech transfer frm the West. We have been struggling with many cutting edge techs like cryogenic engine, rocket reentry and others. Look at China, which had no hesitation in signing a similar deal with the US, and now they are enjoying a quantum leap in their tech base.

u r an Idiot who can't see the position of China ...China is accepted as a nuclear power ...we want a similar status otherwise we will be left behind China in future and we will become like Japan and other US Chamchas who are dependent on US for their security or may be u r already in a Chamcha state (of Rahul and Sonia) and thus deliberately chosen not to see adverse effect of this deal

Australia has not opted for Nuclear Power Reactors despite of abundant resource of Uranium, they instead opted for hydel/thermal/solar energy plants. The main problem is dumping of processed fuel & exorbitant cost of such power, which will make a poor country like India more poorer. Even today large no. of people can not afford power tarrif with in the country. As far as DOOR DRISTHI Ji! India is already a NUCLEAR POWER, which nobody can deny! OK! Regards!
The tech transfer as is given to India but the U238 that will be given to India is already processed twice and will be left for one final processing. India cannot reprocess the fuel which would have turned the deal in India's favour. Also US will not take any responsibility for dumping that processed fuel. every nuclear nation in the world is facing the problem with dumping the processed nuclear fuel. Now given India's proven safeguards, this can be a huge problem. If you dont know what can happen due to side effects of this fuel dumping please visit jadugoda, where more than 70% of children born are born cripple.. and average life span of a person is 40-45 years..
Had this fuel that we are to receive due to this deal been for our nuclear weapons programme, etc then also it was good but in no way it can be used for that part. It can be used only for civilian energy generation.. In that case why should we go for nuclear enery which will cost us more than any hydel/thermal/solar energy plant.
If we require civilian energy then we should go for that which will be available at cheaper cost.
The reason is it appears that in vowing for strategic relationship India is giving away too much.. We need a strategic partnership with US which is important.. but at what cost is the question..
