Despite what he says, we are presently unable to run our nuclear power plants at full capacity due to short supply of uranium? Is this correct or are they working at lower capacities because of the inefficiency of scientists like Dr Prasad! Can he tell us what developments have been made by our scientists in the nuclear field which are indigenous and with only locally made/designed equipment or are we dependent on some critical items which have to be imported. Does the deal overcome these constraints? Yes or No. Dr A.Kakodkar the present Chairman of our Atomic Energy Commission is a prominent scientist and has been part of the teal that negotiated the deal as well as some other nuclear power experts have also been consulted. Is Dr Prasad peeved becasue he wasnt included in the consultative team? Is his ego-hurt? APJ Kalam has endorsed the agreement as being in the national iterest. And so have some other scientists. Can someone enlighten me on Dr Prasad's position.

Kalam has not endorsed it. He has been mis quoted. All he said was we dont have sufficient uranium but use thorium and develop tha technology. Being a past President he can not talk about it and clarify it.
