either sign the deal with america OR the NPT which has been signed by 196 countries, else the nuclear reactor fuel runs out soon.
a few scientists like dr.kakodar (whose visa had been rejected by USA) claims to be able to create thorium reactors, but all this is just big talk as all nuclear reactors in india are either of russian or american built with hardly any indegeneous technology. most defence projects have failed eg. arjun tank, tejas fighter
indian scientists prefer to work for america, only those whose visa has been rejected remain behind
TWO SCIENTISTS FROM INDIA HAVE WON NOBEL PRIZE FOR USA (KHORANA, CHANDRASEKHAR) WHILE ONLY ONE HAS WON NOBEL PRIZE FOR INDIA (C.V.RAMAN) AND THAT TOO IN 1930 BEFORE INDEPENDENCE.
SHOWS CLEARLY INDIAN SCIENTISTS PREFER TO WORK FOR AMERICA
