Because while the 123 Deal gives India access to international uranium fuel supplies, it still shutters India's thorium program. So without the 123 Deal, India continues to be denied access to itnernational uranium supplies, but then it gets to continue its thorium breeding which generates uranium anyway, so that after 10 years we'll have enough to continue the process in perpetuity, no matter what anybody else has to say about it. This 123 Deal is merely saving us some marginal expense in building more thorium reactors, and on expenses in related nuclear technologies in-house. That's all we're really getting out of it. So we can work fine with or without the 123 Deal. This latest rush is just to save Congress' asses. 336731@desicritics.org Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:24:21 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/07/10/004355.php#comment-336715 do you think this could be the last hurrah for both singh and bush? 336715@desicritics.org Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:10:25 EDT
