PROS AND CONS OF INDO-US NUCLEAR PACT
The input cost for nuclear energy is much larger than any other conventional and non-conventional source of energy. The full cost is much higher, we became a dependant nation for nuclear fuel like uranium and hard water reactors rather than independent nation. We cannot ensure regular and erratic supply from other nations due to their frequent policy changes in their respective countries. Tarapur is a great example how we suffered and kept idle for years together. Other aspect is nuclear non-proliferation and security concern. We cannot ignore nuclear non-proliferation considering the fact that the organized criminals are very powerful and active and harboured in enemy countries who have international connection. Consider the safety and security aspect It is vulnerable to terrorist attack and nuclear leak through human error, theft of fuel. If there is a natural disaster we have to face double disaster.

It seems that there is a great bias against some intellectuals (independent observers and not party specific) to air their opinion in the media and they have facing a black out. The Electronic media not much interested in inviting the people like Brahma Chelany and other leading intellectuals who has a clear far sighted opinion on this issue. The talk in the electronic media is putting a half truth and very less knowledge on the specific subject, if he/she has better access the information.
To sum up, Indian leadership need to review all aspects of the deal and need to go slow such expensive deal and need to address the concern of the people and some valid points raised by the people and need a clear study on pre-and post deal situation.
