Western countries are jealous of India's progress and want it tied down by making it depeendent and making Indian industries uncompetitive.
Just one link to see the actual cost of nculear plant -- From The TimesMay 5, 2008
Nuclear reactors will cost twice estimate, says E.ON chiefRobin Pagnamenta The Government has vastly underestimated the cost of building a new generation of nuclear power plants, according to the head of the world's largest power company.
Wulf Bernotat, chairman and chief executive of E.ON, the German energy giant that owns Powergen, has told The Times that the cost per plant could be as high as €6 billion (�4.8 billion) - nearly double the Government's latest �2.8 billion estimate.
His figures indicate that the cost of replacing Britain's ten nuclear power stations could reach �48 billion, excluding the cost of decommissioning ageing reactors or dealing with nuclear waste. “We are talking easily about €5 billion to €6 billion [each],” Dr Bernotat said.

One Euro is 70 rupees. Each plant would cost 42,000 crores. Disposal of nuclear waste not included, security of the plant not included. Cost of hosting IAEA inspectors ( basically spies) in five star hotels not included, increase in price of uranium not included.
Abe BJP and kangressi morons--do you still want nuclear energy.
India needs energy which is affordable--nuclear energy does not fit the bill.

India has to find a solution based on what india can afford and what is available. Solar and wind both have trumendous scope. Thar desert can be pplace for solar plants and shore areas ( India has 2/3rd sea shore) can be place for wind and coean wave energy.
