A matter for debate.....

There is no way that India can conduct nuclear tests now,the Indian Government has given up hopes of testing nuclear devices in the future.


Since the beginning of this nuclear issue, the discussion has been revolving around India\'s commitment of voluntary moratorium on testing. Many countries were not satisfied with it. Even the Indian government started talking about that how Indian scientists have already obtained relevant data from the Pokhran tests. It was said that the government has been advised that India does not require to conduct nuclear tests. Public comments were made that now, computer simulation is sufficient to test devices. This shows that the government is reconciled about giving up nuclear tests. Rest of the fight was to avoid the backlash on the issue.

Somewhere, the government must have given the assurance that India doesn\'t require testing. The government has already said that India has the legal right to conduct nuclear tests and the United States has the legal right to react. The US has appreciated this statement. After a good amount of investment is done in the nuclear power sector, it will be difficult to return equipments, fuel, spares and resources. Because they have the right to react, your right to conduct tests is unlikely to be exercised at the cost of heavy economic fall-out.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has stipulated that once an imported power plant comes under the purview of safeguards, it will remain so till it is abandoned or it is unusable.

So, even if the fuel supplies are stopped, the power plants will be of no use to India.

The waiver obtained by India at Vienna will help Indian reactors get fuel. In that sense, it will be a great relief. It will help in the short term to mid-term prospects of the nuclear energy industry. But in the long run, it will be detrimental to India\'s research programme for thorium based technology.

The nuclear power plant suppliers are bound to influence India\'s policies, once they enter the market.

The world is not well tuned to thorium based energy programmes, so the enriched uranium based plants manufacturers will push India in a certain direction.

With India getting NSG waiver, Congress President Sonia Gandhi today congratulated Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his \"conviction and commitment to pursue with determination India\'s integration with the global mainstream to meet the requirements of our energy security.\"

Explaining the waiver as a historic moment in a press release, Gandhi said, \"The NSG waiver marks the culmination of enormous efforts and skillful negotiations by our diplomats and nuclear scientists. Three decades of isolation have ended.\"

She further said that with this decisive step, India will also work along with other countries towards ensuring global energy security and addressing the issue of climate change.

\"This is a tribute to India\'s impeccable credentials and genuine quest for energy security,\" she added.

The Chinese leadership has signalled its belief that India is a responsible nuclear power, which will never use its nuclear capability against China while supporting India\'s case at the Nuclear Suppliers Group, a senior expert at a government-run think-tank told TNN on Saturday. -

\"I hope the Indian leaders and the Indian people realise that China sincerely wants to improve relations between the two countries. This is a very big political decision of the Chinese leaders,\" Ma Jiali, research professor at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations said soon after the NSG announced its decision in Vienna.

Ma said China and India should now start a new dialogue focusing on ways to ensure non-proliferation of nuclear technology in Asia.

China\'s vote played a crucial role in helping India win the approval of the 45-nation NSG because several of its members looked at Beijing for advise on how to deal with this situation, sources in Beijing said.

Chinese experts believe the NSG decision will hugely impact the border negotiations between the two countries because it will result in India becoming a more advanced nuclear power. New Delhi should appreciate China\'s goodwill and take measures to settle the border row, they said.

Supporting India\'s case at the NSG meeting was a difficult decision for the top Chinese leadership who faced severe resistance from a section of the Communist Party and the military brass, another expert on international relations, who preferred anonymity, said.

The resistance was apparent in an article published in the People\'s Daily , the Communist Party mouthpiece, severely criticising the India-US deal.

\"There are hawks in every country and it is not always easy to win them over. This decision shows the commanding influence of the top leadership even in a highly sensitive issue like this,\" he said.

Ma and other experts feel the generally decision to back India\'s case will help build the right atmosphere for solving outstanding issues between the two nations including the border problem. China has been appreciative of India\'s approach towards pro-Tibet protesters during and after the Lhasa riots and at the time of the Olympic torch relay.

\"The time has come for China and India to sit down and discuss the Dalai Lama issue,\" Ma said. Beijing apparently expects India to reciprocate its goodwill expressed through the vote at the NSG meeting by helping it solve problems relating to Tibet, sources said.

China recognises the fact that the NSG decision will enable India to obtain nuclear technology and material from different countries across the world and further strengthen its technological base, Ma said.

In taking the decision to vote for the India, Beijing has taken into consideration the fact that it will impact its close relationship with Pakistan.

Islamabad has been urging Beijing to oppose India at the NSG because it has to fear most from India\'s nuclear strength. The Pakistan factor could be one reason why Ma suggested regulator dialogue on nuclear non-proliferation in Asia.

I am sure that India do not have such an aggressive attitude for the first use of Nuclear weapon against Pakistan or China. Why we have nuclear weapons is to keep ourselves evenly balanced with these neighbours in the defence front. Nucelar test is not the one to be conducted on a regular basis and as per my understanding, the huge area sorrounding the test arena cannot be inhabited for many many years and a country like Inida with huge population and deficit land area cannot affrod to sacrifice more of our precious land for test purpose. Even a single atomic weapon has immense distructive power and it is meaningless to pile up such weapons of mass distruction. ...

Manmohan showed courage. NSG waiver would boost exports and production internally as power shortage issue can be addressed. We should start a new thread 'Will Nifty hit 6300 and Sensex 21000?'...

Coal to liquid may be used as fuel cheaper than present fuels used. Going to the future trade....

Hi Zoombusiness, Nice valuable views on GMR, I\\`m holding 50% GMR in my portfolio b\\`cos of their presence in all sectors and world class management. But i\\`m a bit sceptic about this CTL technology. I\\`ve read extensively on internet about this and found out that this emits 2 times more CO2 than normal gasoline. The process used to convert the coal to luiquid is still not efficient to minimize the poolution. I hope they find something very soon and good companies like GMR enter it. Just invest your pocket money in GMR for 5 years and i\\`m sure the returns will make you rich....

To cut it short, what exactly is your view as far as stock is concern???? I am regular on this board and also doing some jobs for the company as contractor, i also hold handsome quantity of shares, hence i wish to know more about it. Any boarder with genuine news are welcome to comment and benefit share holders of this company....that will be highly appreciated.... ...
