I think the issue is not ours and theirs. I think, it is what is civil and what is not? We have to expend technology both into civil and military requirements, that I think the civilian (ours) will mostly be the FBRs that would be dedicated to nation, within the IAEA monitored facilities. If we hav...

Dear Gurus Please explain this statement, " All thorium aspirants will have to live by the 20% limit onlee???" The Indian AHWR needs U-233 as part of its fuel which is primarily TH-232. The spent fuel will need to be reprocessed which I presume will be done in the dedicated reprocessing f...

Do we have to flaunt our Foreign Policy Independence and NAM at each step and choose the looser and act anti US all the time. In Iran US cold or Hot conflict there is no doubt US will win. So learn from Chanukya and pick the winner - and get extra credit for picking him. India and what is best for I...

I am very surprised that you treat the M/MRCA so lightly. The AESA tech is equivalent to testing or reproc in nukes. To be powerful you have to make your planes. Buying them only gives reflected glory. That said I don't take MRCA lightly. I just look at it as a necessary stop gap 10 B $ deal. If we...

boss log. we don't care if pakis align with iran or iraq.. nothing worse than their existing alignment, i.e, china and america itself. what we are interested is both oil and nuclear security. we need oil from any middle eastern country that is willing to supply us at a decent price., be it iran or ...

I think we are going overboard with all this chest beating. There is nothing to suggest that Indian IP is being stolen India cannot test in future India will be saddles with mountains of spent fuel Indian Thorium plan is being affected.

Is there a technical reason for India NOT to export her thorium based reactors (I am not looking for any political related issues)? WRT Alok_N, he may come back but certainly felt he was spending too much time here on BR. Also, much has happened since he "left" - he is not as much up-to-s...

[quote="Satya_anveshi"] â€˜Reprocessing, core of nuclear programme [quote]The key to this transition, he said, was reprocessing. But Washington did not want Indian policymakers to be patient. â€œThey want to control and slow down our three-stage programme. Once we get hooked on to uranium ...

That is the great unanswered question in the public domain. If the US wants to, it can give a variety of things in return which India needs, but none of the discussions of the various mutual quid pro quos, which should be there in the background, is in the public domain - unfortunately. Since we ha...

We might help create a dashing sound-byte for our imminent exit from Hyde bound B-J18 Something crisp. Say, 67 charcters or less. Else, 2 short sentences. An aphorism that generates sympathy, and leaves doors open for later. Rangudu and Ramana could umpire. Something expressing "No nuclear was...

I am rephrasing to make my concern clearer given its importance (I think). Even if the deal goes through with J18 and as India wants it I am afraid there will be attempts at inspections scope creep from civilian to military & non military indegenous reactors.

The NPT itself is undergoing scope creep. Will any Inspections we agree to lead to scope creep. Will Someday the inspectors at the reprocessing plant decide that only way they can do their job is to inspect the thorium power future plant and we get all sorts of pressures put on us. If this deal die...

vnadendla, You are assuming sincerity, logic, etc from the US side. Politics does not follow any of them. Besides that you are also assuming that India is negotiating as an equal. Also, the bratish behaviour is something that the Western mind understands. Not that it leads to any meaningful end, bu...

Why should we say no? We should keep on negotiating and use the opportunity / Strategic space to reprocess Tarapur fuel secretly; maybe conduct sub critical tests too. I'm thinking we could have done all that even before Indo-US negotiations. As a matter of fact, doing some of those things before t...

No one gives you anything for free. The US (on behalf of the NSG cartel) is trying to exercise control over the strategic programme and constrain it in exchange for meeting Indian needs cited above. The strategic programme should be non-negotiable. An appropriate quid pro quo from India would be th...

If India gets pushed into FMCT it should include Tarapur spent fuel as its fissile material. The American proposal for the FMCT disallows reprocessing, so spent fuel alone won't be useful. I mean they should reprocess before FMCT comes into force. We should play American game instead of acting spoi...
