the deal boils down to this. Compromise your strategic interests for energy security. The former is a real issue with bad, undemocractic and ruthlessly proliferative neighbors cum enemies on both sides. the latter a long and uncertain road. Junk the deal and go it alone I say. We are blessed with enough solar input to harness till we crack our own fusion reactors - it's a fifty year old technology for god's sake.

"we crack our own fusion reactors"
india need russian or american collaboration to make fission reactors and you are talking about a FUSION reactor ??? not even america or russia has even managed a controlled fusion not to mention constructing a fusion reactor !!!

Fusion reactors are possible.Our own indeginious technology.That what report in The Hindu says.Few months back there was high tech seminar conducted by our scientists in this area and report says that this fact is accepted by a leading French spealist in the feild.Thats what news paper reports says.Actual facts should(might) be closer to that fact.Then also it seems we need processed fuel to augument those fusion reactors.We have unexplored uranium mines in Jharkhand and Nalgonda(AP). regarding THE DEAL,Let us stick to July 2005 declaration.Other things later than that are at wide off mark.If not wrong,statement said equal status to us & US.But Hyde act,later negotiations-where are they leading us to?v v confusing..what legal bindings and language of it...

nonsense, "fusion reactors" !
ITER (of which india is a member) is only planning to construct an experimenntal fusion reactor which is planned to be completed in 2050.....with a great deal of luck.
india has joined the ITER project last year. anyway its highly unlikely that ITER (comprised of USA, russia, european union, india, china, japan) will be able to achieve a controlled fusion or build a fusion reactor.
ITER is a joint international research and development project that aims to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power. The partners in the project - the ITER Parties - are the European Union (represented by EURATOM), Japan, the People´s Republic of China, India, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the USA. ITER will be constructed in Europe, at Cadarache in the South of France.

some problems are just too BIG for humans to solve........just have to depend on the sun which is the only fusion reactor in the vicinity !

no there are 2 alice in one wonderland.
hey you "Cracking JOES" comon yaar u r not from the nuclear industry....than why you try to become scientist and make comments on the topic which you dont no anything about !!!
