Nuclear endgame Unclear


Uninterrupted power generation is essential for the overall development of our Nation. In quantitative terms, the per capita consumption of electric energy is regarded as an indicative parameter of the socio economic growth rate of a nation. The present per capita generation is around 1.1 Kwh per day whereas the demand is around 5.5 kwh per day. We need to plan for projected Power generation to the tune of 6 times present generation to cope with the economic boom or else the economic boom will become elusive like the distant rainbow and just fade away.

Apart from coal, fossil fuels, hydro, windmill, solar the only other option is Nuclear Power if at all the Nation wants to sustain its economic front. The prices of fossil fuels are bound to gallop and cost of power production will also swell. The only sane solution seems to be Nuclear Power Reactors which are economically a viable option.
