Nuclear Deal
by Amitabh Kumar on Aug 24, 2007 12:39 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

If you do not develop nuclear energy you will continue to be dependent on fossil fuel which will perpetually keep you vulnerable to the pressures of oil producing countries of middle east. You will not be able to tackle Islamic terrorism and Pakistan will be able to keep you mum in different International fora. If you go ahead with the N-deal then even if US stops supplying you N-fuel when you go for a nuclear test, at least Russia will be able to supply you the N-fuel. Presently even Russia is not able to supply us N-fuel. Killing this deal will only isolate us even further and only Pakistan and China will benefit.

We can develop nuclear energy without US help!. We dont have to compromise on our nuclear testing rights to get this deal!.

I am not sure about that if we can cover the entire journey all by ourselves.

Although that is not a bad idea. Probably doing away with this deal may not have serious impact either. If the government starts funding the indigenous program then we can develop thorium based N-power infrastructure. It probably is just a matter of funds. Though if you import N-fuel from US then also you will have to spend. So probably the deal may not be necessary.

its nt just a matter of funds its also a matter of time. today indian industry is suffering due to huge power cuts. we cant afford to loose time. if our economy stops where will the money to fund thorium research come from. Take this deal n put thorium research on da fast track

Research on thorium is at quite an advanced stage. In fact as I remember they have already have tasted success. After all the speed with which you can develop uranium based plants will entirely depend upon how fast you can fund those programs. If you spend a fraction of that amount on thorium based plants then you will not need to be dependent upon US or even Russia. I think the answer to India's power problems is Thorium. We have huge reserves of thorium which can last 1000s of years. Besides uranium based programs are always more expensive.
