Good news

Yeah. Great news. Still I think we should work for Thorium which we have so much in abundance.

 

[skeletor]

Excellent news. I must say.

 

[abhijangda]

Awesome news, now I think these will decrease the dependence on NSG.

Plus the are hoping the yield might be much larger. Would make it a mother lode. Hope our government utilizes this resource to full potential and not loose it in bureaucratic red-tape and corporate exploitations.

Great news

Yes but wont Thorium be better? Edward Henning wrote a great column in Digit June 2011 on what and how Thorium works

Nice... really nice news....

Lets hope no scams here...

 

[Alok]

Indian land rocks.
Hope for best utilization.

I think Thorium is the better fuel- Breeder Reactors produce much less waste.

 

[skeletor]

^ but are still expensive and not mature.

Lets hope this is good news instead of bad news !

@ico: Yes, but further research is the way to go.

We should also work on nuclear fusion reactors and find a viable alternative to fission.

Hydrogen fuel is also a good option.

Lets hope this is good news instead of bad news !

Why would it be a bad news?
