I read article “Need of the hour is for ‘Make-in-India’ nuclear plants” in Deccan Chronical was written by Dr. Gopalakrishnan (agk37@hotmail.com) is a former chairman of India’s Atomic Energy Regulatory Board. It reminded me of my old article on this issue, it was written on 20th July 2008 and as usual I failed to get Indian press attention. Epilog to this article is Left parties withdrew their oxygen support to UPA-1 government and Mr. Manmohan Singh was seeking confidence motion on 22nd July 2008, and Congress party was offering 30 crores to support or abstention in the vote in order to survive confidence vote in parliament.
As we all know Cash for Votes Scandal broke the headline on 22nd and Kishore Chandra Deo committee didn’t find any evidence. 2 MP’s from AP State Mr. Manda Jagannadham and Mr. D. K. Adikeshavulu Naidu of TDP voted to UPA-1, within 6 months Mr. Adikeshavulu Naidu became the TTD Chairman, isn’t it bribery? Aren’t they done this on public watch? We are …..
SPECIAL NUCLEAR DEAL
It’s so cheap to buy MP’s it costs only around 25 to 30 crores, The whole Parliament costs just 8,250 crores (275 MP’s X 30 C). Any G 8 nation can easily spend much more than this in order to get whatever they want in India, Why not just American govt. go ahead and buy 275 MP’s to get India into NPT? Why with this “SPECIAL Nuclear Deal” agreement? Don’t you think they are smart? They are doing this through a deal, to favor for their “SPECIAL BUSINESSMEN” and achieving their goal to get India into NPT framework. The N deal is above 400, 000 crores capital investment in first 5 years to generate 20,000MW by year 2020, definitely someone will get at least 1% as commission, i.e. 4,000 cores. Easily they can buy 40 MP’s by offering 100 crores each, may be they are keeping that for coming elections. Are you getting ready to get some of it by demanding for your vote in 2009 elections?
We are the biggest democratic nation in the world, we are well deserved and qualified enough to get permanent membership in UN, no other country is qualified if India isn’t qualified. US is not supporting us on this issue but why they are supporting us to get Uranium, despite of its worldwide opposition by doing a special agreement with us?
So far we (India) didn’t sign the NPT treaty, because it favors the nuclear nations only. They will have excess pileup of weapons in their arsenal, they don’t want to disarm them, but they will block or demolish the other nation who try to acquire this technology, is it fair? In past U.S and USSR agreed to dissolve some of their stocks, but both countries dumped that agreement. Indian govt. has enormous pressure from long time to sign NPT; by signing this we can buy the Uranium from the NSG nations without restrictions but by not signing does India lost something? Is this is the reason, as now we are signing with US? In which form the 123 agreement different from NPT?
US built its last nuclear power plant in 1975, they are not pursuing it because of its destructive nature and the difficulties to treat its waste. German’s are investing their money in solar energy, then why should we invest in nuclear? We don’t have enough Uranium mines we must depend on others forever. India has world’s second largest reserves of Thorium and efforts are on to develop Thorium based fast breeder reactors in India, why shouldn’t we invest that money on Thorium based fast breeder reactors or Solar?
To build a nuclear reactor, it takes long span such as 9-10 years, per MW capital investment is 28 Crores plus Uranium and its transportation, waste treatment and high maintenance cost, Instead of that if we build Solar PV power plants, it can built in a year, per MWp without batteries 12 crores for 40 years, to get same output as nuclear we need 8MWp power plant with a capital investment of 96 crores plus minimum maintenance cost no additional costs because sunlight is free. We can start using it 9 years before the nuclear power plant is constructed. Without constructing new ones we should buy uranium for our existing reactors.
Mr. Kalam’s stand on this issue as President of India is best to support Thorium reactors other than signing this deal. After his US visit as ex-President of India, he is in favor of this deal. Sonia Gandhi never commented on this deal until her last visit to US in 2007 Oct. After that she called the opponents of this deal as traitors. Amar Sing is flip flopping on this issue and now he is in favor of it after his arrival from US Doesn’t it look odd? Does our politicians are doing slavery? Or they are blackmailed? Or they took bribes?
