Not even a village in India will allow a nuclear power plant to be built near them. If at all these plants are built, it will be built over the dead bodies of hundreds of protesters' similar to Nandigram. These plants are so dangerous that no European country except France has significant power generation from nuclear plants.

Joy has a point. But some reactions:
1. Nuclear power has made France power surplus and a power exporter to surrounding European countries including UK, which in returns reduces their need to invest in power projects 2. Because of the French success story, nuclear plants are designed with better safety features than a decade or two back.

Has this surplus power made UK suprior to France in anyway. France has not got even 75% influence UK has on global politics. In France petrol price is equal or slightly higher than UK.o what benefit this nuclear power has given to France? If they had no nuclear they would have developed power like UK or Germany. India should use: a) coal, b) Iran gas, c) remaining hydro, d) develop solar power in deserts of Rajastan. Rajastan deserts can give more solar power than the proposed dangerous nuclear power stations.
