Indo-US Nuclear Deal
by Atma Prakash Tiwari on Aug 24, 2007 01:06 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Why the hell we are hell bent on getting (rather begging for) Nuclear energy from NSG group??? Why don't we look at suggestions made by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam to reporocess Thorium, which we have in abudancy in India and which can take care of our energy needs.

The only problem is Congree will never allow something which is suggested by anyone who is not from Congress even if the person is of Kalam's stature....

Than work towards making those reactors... didn't we make Cryogenic engines (which was refused by Russia) & Super Computer (Which was refused by USA)...

Well Mikkey... You may be correct...But why can't we look at making our own reactors?? Reactors in US & Russia are also human made, right??? And I belive that we have intellectual capability to do the same on our own...

all your best scientists have left to work for america, so no one can develop any thorium reactors. eg. Mr. S. Chandarsekhar, Mr. H.G.Korana
