Do consider all factors when u comapare all sort of energy production . Raw material is not the sole consideration. The factors such as maintanance, handling of nuclear waste without any harm to environment , humans and all bio and non bio things in the locality, decommissioning of the facilities etc.
Does anybody thing it is a simple and routine job like in any other chemical plant. All materials exposed to the nuclear material are considered as radiactive waste and treated accordingly.
In case of a war, it is very easy destroy India. Nobody has to drop a nuclear bomb in India, but they just hv to drop a bomb in nuclear plant.
I dont know whether anybody is aware of the fact is that american companies will be involved (they should be, as per the deal) in these projects only if they get a guarantee that these companies will not be responsible for any disasters occuring in these plants & neighbourhoods and they dont have to give any compensation.
Who will be suffering then? Only our people.. if govt. decides do something, then it will be good , otherwise, i dont know.
Why do we welcome such projects even when we had faced disasters like BHOPAL tragedy. Has anybody done anything in favour of those poor people there .
I'm not against the deal, but I am against the nuclear plants in India. We must try other sources of energy. It will be much efficient when we consider all these risks/ fact

Thanks Reporter You have enumerated the problems connected with nuclear power. It is not exhaustive. More points will come to light as time pass on. These people in the capital has no time see that only Japan and France are encouraging nuclear power. Their Delhi men) intension is getting clearer and clearer as time pass on. The end loss will be for the congress and the country. It is the price they pay for choosing a man from outside congress to lead the country. Now get ready for the final rite for the congress, congress men!!

Looks like a typical Kaangressi brainwashed person... Come out of the shell and face the reality... There are countries which do not want India to be a future challenge.

Nuclear waste is DEADLY WASTE, more serious than CO2 and other emissions.
If a disaster occur in a normal power plant, we can do something to make the locality habitable.
But a nuclear disaster can make that area uninhabitable until the radio active nuclear waste is inactive and it can take may be hundreds of years.
Take the exmple of Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. The city is still mostly uninhabited due to radioactivity.
In order to meet the rising demand for energy, invite private companies to build power plants based on conventional fuels and new renewable sources ....
If well designed power plants in the capacity of reliance refinery in jamnagar comes up in south north east and west of India, we can solve the demand, may be in 5 years time . Anybody there to bet ???
If u go for nuclear plants, it is 100000 % sure that private parties will not be involved, investemnt to be made by the govt. Where is the money for it ??? ( They cant even subsidise oil or fertilizers ) So it will be on loan from world bank or IMF ...... how many years for construction and commissioning ??? Safe storage of nuclear waste generated ( high level and low level wastes) and finally disposal of the same safely for hundreds of years
So which option is better ???
If a desalination plant is also set up with power plants, it can meet the water requirements of millions with a little additional cost

Indian govt. doesnt have money to subsidise oil price .... They dont have money to buy and ensure supply of basic food materials to poor people.... How can they arrange 100s of billions uf rupees to invest for nuclear plants .....

And what are the other resources do you think, what other options do we have. I understand the dangers that you mentioned but you also need to know there are may countries who use Nuclear energy so why this fear, secondly is it that easy to bomb a nuclear Installation. Why didnt the scientist point out this points are they naive or may be they are not as good as you.

a nuclear scientist will never point out these points because then, they will not have any job to do !!!
