123 agreement opens the door to US to sell their obsolete defence products to India but Indian reactors will still starve of Uranium – how Kakodkar got fooled?
The Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission Dr. Anil Kakodkar has stated that the sooner the nuclear deal was concluded, it would be better for the country.
But unknowingly he is totally fooled by the Americans. India gains very little from the 123 agreement. Dr. Placid Rodriguez, a senior nuclear scientist who has been critical of the 123 agreement, explains the whole situation. The 123 agreement opens the door to US to sell their defence products than supply uranium. India will never receive the Uranium needed for its reactors. That was the main purpose of the agreement with the Americans who have opposed Indian nuclear ambitions for the last fifty years.
Director of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) Dr. Srikumar Banerjee has said that India was looking at meeting the uranium needs of the reactors through new exploration.
He also indicated that India was going ahead to commission eight new generation reactors of 700 megawatts each.
If the 123 agreement is reached India will soon realize how Kakodkar and Manmohan Singh got fooled by the Americans. India will keep the agreement in the sideline and opt for indigenous development of reactors and accelerate the exploration of Uranium.
The geopolitics is complex. America wants to arm India to counter China just like China armed Pakistan to counter India. When America will realize that India is not interested to become an American geopolitical satellite like Japan or Australia, America will provide ‘little’ to India.
