Next week, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will attend a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly with Bush.

The announcement said that surpassing of the previous plan is a great idea. The development of nuclear 600,000 MW by 2050, in the next 40 years, means each year 15,000 MW, 15 - 1,000 MW machines to begin operating. In the next five years, 70,000 MW of total power shall be developed in the 11th 5-year plan. It means most of them in the development of nuclear energy are calculated. How we get a big idea.

This initiative is on the foundation, of the course, of Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement, and, recently the the Nuclear Suppliers' Group (NSG) also support with its agreement. Also, as a condition for the next 12 years, 30,000 ~ 40,000 MW worth of fuel and the application of thorium technology shall be the condition.

India, nuclear non-proliferation treaty has not entered yet, and there struggling to secure nuclear fuel. 4.0 million KW nuclear power plant utilization rates have dropped, spurring a lack of fuel. On the other hand, a big nuclear power development, China has a plan, "the uranium resources in China, even at present only about half of demand with supply capacity in the future, overseas for uranium resources exploration and development activities is the need to strengthen. ", it was written and presented papers recently.

India and China to secure nuclear fuel to the competition, is considered. Both coal-fired secured 70 percent of the country, where the two countries on nuclear and coal-fired power to go lower, for the concerns of all humanity. If they expand it, also, the safety of nuclear power come great interest.
