production• Current production :3-4 percent of total

electricity generation• Expected to achieve 25% of electricity

generation through nuclear energy by 2050.

The Impact of the deal on India

Advantages:~Energy produced from1kg of Uranium = 1500 tons of coal ~Enables India to access nuclear

technology and fuel from NSG ~Less pollution~Strong business tie-ups with the US~Global recognition

Impact of deal on India

Disadvantages of the deal to India:•Estimated expenditure:

– For 20,000 MW production – 4 lac crores– Per unit cost: Rs 5.50

•The deal is not ratified by Indian Parliament.•Insecure transportation, •Logistics management implementation

problem

Other Important Issues

• More discussion is needed on this treaty

• Our R&D work will be slowed

• More understanding and consent of all sectors should have been taken

• What is the procedure to use energy waste?

• It will take 2 to 3 years to get the approval from IAEA
