IAEA predicts nuclear power production will be down to 13% by 2030 from present figure of 16% as many countries slow down on nuclear plants and likely to close old plants without fresh investment due to heavy investment,fuel supply problem,international laws on supply of fuel and reprocessing,accident chances for radiation besides high cost of power generation compared to conventional production out of wind,solar, thermal,hydel ect. fuel uranium production is mainly concentrated in australian,canada while conversion,reprocessing,enrichment,centrifuging fuel farbitcation technology is with GERMANY, USA,RUSSIA,CANADA,FRANCE,U K.so india have to depend upon above countries for fuel,subject indian nucelar reactors to their inspection and have to spend spent fuel for reprocessing to the above countries.in short MMS surrenders india to west and sold to america.

example- a belgium nuclear plant contracts with Ausralian uranium oxide and send to USA to convert to uranium hexaflouride gas and sent to RUSSIA for enrichement to U235 isotopes before sent to GERMANY for fuel fabrication in fuel rods before packed to belgium reactor for power production.so processing, conversion,enrichment, fuel farbication are done in different countries example - a brazilian power plant send their uranium oxide (yellow cake)to canada to produce uranium hexaflouride which is sent to germany to enrichement process and sent to USA for fuel fabrication before being sent finally to brazil to produce power.all countries similar to india like brazil,argentina depend upon other countries for fuel grade uranium supply.india will open its nuclear plants for inspection by IAEA.high cost of investment,heavy prices of fuel grade uranium,enrichement cost will throw power prices beyond common man.Americans now harness wind,solar,hydel,sea for producing power and no fresh investment on nuclear reactors.why they sell their old dismandled plants repainted reconditined like new and sell to MMS.
