dear friends, i have not been able to understand the projection of 2030 or 2020 because india's energy need is more than 100 times larger than what is being projected through n-deal i.e. 2052 mw. the uranium reserves are limited, we can't expect our needs to be fullfilled through uranium energy plants even 10%. even if the n-deal gets operationalised, the first energy we will get from it not earlier than 2020. than why this is so much hue and cry? moreover indian scientists are working to build reacter to get energy through thorium, and thorium reserves are so ample in india that it is sufficient for world need for more than 1000 years. china recently has developed a small prototype of reacter based on thorium. when our scientists are working on such thorium based reactres why we should not provide them more and more adequate fascilities because through thorium to get energy it will also take as much same time as it is projected through uranim. once thorium based reactres get operationalise fully it will solve the world energy crisis. than why we are running to US for uranium based deal on US terms which is not going to fullfill our 2% energy need by 2030 as being projecte?

Now you came to the point. THe thing is WHY? US is known in the entire world to use strong arm tactics to make or break things, because lot of nations Like INDIA and China have the capability to reach USA's status through thhird country;s help. USA wants to KEEP its position - superpower. Thus every govt has to abide by the US to ensure FDI and economic sanctions, and lot of other things.
