I have a very high regard for our scientists, but some times I feel that our scientists are becoming more of politicians now a days. Dr. Prasad is all against the deal, but what the nation would like to know from him is what are the alternatives. May be the huge investments we have made in these experimental nuclear set ups, should have helped us in developing technology for Thorium based reactors. Today, our nation is starving for electric power, our effort should be meet this very basic infrastructure demand of people. Our request to Mr. Prasad is to suggest some convincing means, by which the country can develop power economically and meet the rising demand. It is his moral responsibility to contribute by suggesting alternatives, criticising somebody else's decisions is not for scientists, it is for the politicians.

Yes I agree with you. If our scientists can make Thoriam based Reactors within 40 years from now. Any time we can stop the agreement and do whatever we want.
