India will get some Uranium from USA or other countries. USA will make huge money from this sale to India. Hoping people in Indian villages will allow nuclear power stations to be built in their backyard (after long agitations like Nandigram), India will build nuclear power stations at huge cost after killing many agitating Indians. Now comes some excuse and US slaps sanctions on India!!! No flow of Uranium to India and all the money we spent for the power stations is wasted. Anyone who remembers what was happening to fuel supply for Tarapore plant from USA in 1960s would know their track record. Anyone who does a risk analysis of this deal will not advise to go ahead. The risk of accident (similar to atom bomb explosion) also very high with this technology. On top of all this, it can only produce electricity which cannot be used as fuel in cars and buses - and the price of this electricity will be more expensive than all other means of electricity production, one KWh (unit) may cost Rs 10 my friend.

Joy Abraham Good Fiction writing! Wonder why talents like yours remain hidden while JK Rowling gets away with a make beleive world of wizards.
I loved the sequential build up of the suspense and how the climax results in the impending doom of an atom bomb.
you are just a fool. if you do not know properly, why do you open your mouth?
Read the facts below about the deal:
After the deal,
(1) countries belonging to the NSG (Nuclear Suppliers Group) will waive restriction for India and India will get a de facto Nuclear State status. This will create great advantage for India in international politics.
(2) All countries of the NSG then can supply us technology and fuel for power generation. France and Russia have said that they will immediately supply technology to India after the NSG waiver. Australia also has said that they will supply uranium just after the waiver by the NSG.
(3) At least 20 percent of our electricity can be produced in the coming 5 years after the waiver. Later on more power plant can be established. For example, France produces 80% of their electricity from nuclear power plants.
(4) We will NO longer depend on oil import from middle east countries so heavily as we do now.
(5) This deal is for the civil nuclear cooperation. The military reactors will be uneffected by the deal. So it will not have any binding on our military nuclear technology (read nuclear bomb).

Then why US has not made a single reacter since 1973, they also depend on other countries for fuel. WITH THIS DEAL IN THEIR TERMS US CAN ARM TWIST INDIA REGARDING OUR FORGIEN POLICY IN FUTURE. WHY NOT INDIAN GOVT DISCLOCING THE INDIA SPECIFIC TERMS TO PUBLIC IF IS SO BENAFICAL FOR INDIA , IF SO EVERYBODY CAN GO THROUGH AND JUDGE

I wonder if most of the names that oppose and see a sinister plan of US seem to coinidentally belong to a specific region or is this a part of larger belief due the predominant Left infuence in the region?
The deal is confidential jsut due to the nature of sensitivity around the material. Not all classified material can be made public. However, the governement has made teh zest of the deal public. You need to be smarter than a nuke scientist like Kalam to have worries about a sinister plan. If you cant trust his brain, chances are you wont trust anybody including your own self!
What is you basis of claiming that US can arm twist. Give a specific caluse and a hypothesis to prove your point than just plain ranting, please.

Is he under influence of ganza? how can people be so stupid. It takes 10 years to build one plant--that is if everything goes well. And second, each plant will cost 42,000 crores rupees.

Every body says that france produces 80% Elec from Nuke.. Dear please see the size and population of france. Then compare the situation with india.
France is the world's largest net exporter of electricity due to its very low cost of generation, and gains over EUR 3 billion per year from this. Thanks to nuclear reactor technology.
France has 59 nuclear reactors operated by Electricité de France (EdF) with total capacity of over 63 GWe, supplying over 430 billion kWh per year of electricity, 78% of the total generated there. In 2005 French electricity generation was 549 billion kWh net and consumption 482 billion kWh - 7700 kWh per person. Over the last decade France has exported 60-70 billion kWh net each year and EdF expects exports to continue at 65-70 TWh/yr.

France is an industrialized country you nut, its per-capita electricity consumption is way larger than India. India is not even fully electrified today and there are power-cuts in metroes.

So, in comparison, although France is smaller than India, they generate several times more electricity than India do.
