1. The cost of the produced electicity and maintenance of the plant is very high.
2. The disposal of Nuclear waste is a big big problem, that we have not considered. The half life of Uranium-236, the Nuclear Fuel is 5,00,000 years, it will stay redioactive till then.
2. The transportation of Nuclear material across the counrty is very risky especially in terrorists infected country like India.
Will the self certified experts like Rahul Gandhi answer any of these issues ?

India has its own technologies for this N-waste unlike others and we have done it for quite sometime. You can findout from Adbul kalam or Anil Kadokar's interview on the latest N-achievement of India. Happy that these questions are being asked. I request you not to politicise this.

stupid U-236 is not radioactive. despite terrorism, nuclear fuel is being transported across the country. and there are technologies to dump nuclear waste. there are thousands of scientists and engineers work for running nuclear power plants in India. And the good luck of India is none of them is dumb like you.
