Through out the hot discussions and brickbats that are going on since some time now, none even the scientists do not make a mention of thorium based nuclear power we are aiming at and hopefull of achieving the results by 2015 or so. The thorium based process shall be our own than the uranium based process for which we need to depend on US and other NSG coutires.
Therefore, as the government of the day is hasitating till today on having an open discussion on the issue, raises strong doubts on our PM's intentions on this pact.

Thorium ha ha ha... do you know the main research project for BARC is thorium, in the last 40 years of its existence we have not got one step ahead. So forget it. I dont know how they come up with figures like 2015 ?

Man, what you should understand here is 'It is not as easy as Extracting Energy from your COW's Dung'. It requires substantial technology to extract energy from this materials like Thorium etc. That is what US agreed to help with us , transfter of whatever technology to make Nuclear power affordable. You should understand that US was the country who exploded an atom bomb in Japan when we were thinking about making GUND(A deewali Fataka). They are at least 30 Years of Technology than any country in the earth.
