The hidden agenda behind the Nuke deal is acquiring the technology for producing nuclear energy from Thorium. Only Thorium based nuke energy got a future. The technology is already available in the market and we need the permission to buy it. Once we master the technology, we are independent. Then we could back out from the deal and even conduct test. But MMS can not reveal this right now as it will jeopardize the whole deal. Even BJP know this but do not want to lose the credit. If BJP come to power they will strictly follow the MMS policy on nuke deal. Wait and watch.

Rather MMS is following BJP policy. It was BJP who initiated the deal. Also, MMS followed the BJP policy on economic reforms. BJP was decades ahead on economic policy which PVN and MMS adopted in 1991, against Cong age old policy.

When did BJP rule India for 5 year before 1991? I guess you didn't do your schooling!! A 13 day govt. cannot intiate economic policy that last for years, come on you stupid! To Gopal......... How long are we trying for developing Thorium tech man...? It will be an ever lasting try.... The best option is to buy now. As it is already declared the next generation nuke tech is based on Thorium due to its abundance and low waste production. "The aim of the western powers is to take away our (60% of world deposit) Thorium at their dictated price." Come on man......... we are in 2008! not in 1700s

Remember US is not a fool. Google "Is the nuclear deal about big business" The manipulation behind this deal is to stop our effort to develop Thorium technology. By going with n-deal all our financial resources will be drained. We will not be in a position to give serious thought on Thorium. Remember stock of Uranium in the world is depleting fast, reaching the end-point by 2070. It is not far. The present projected target is 40000MW in the next 20-30 years. It is an unrealistic projection, in my opinion. There may be some thought of PREFABRICATED PLANTS for the plants to speed-up the commissioning. A disastrous thinking for the nation. Think of the radiation hazards connected with it. By that time Uranium will reach near its end point. Then what is the need of the deal? The nuclear deal is for getting Uranium. Then question arises-what is it for? The aim of the western powers is to take away our (60% of world deposit) Thorium at their dictated price. Our leaders should be intelligent enough to read these facts. All investments made for building Uranium based plants will be wasted. Should we waste such a huge astronomically large investments?
