India Approves Largest Nuclear Park in the World.

[NNadir]

This news item goes back a few months, but I missed it.

Mumbai: The world's largest nuclear park has got the go ahead.

The 9,900 MW Jaitapur nuclear power project to be set up in collaboration with a French firm in Maharashtra will soon become a reality albeit with some conditions.

The project will help energy deficient states like Maharashtra which face compulsory power cuts. The project has faced its fair share of controversies with concerns on safety and displacement but the Environment Minister today made it clear that nuclear energy is essential if India is to meet its energy needs.

Have a nice evening.

1. Nuclear "park"? Sounds like Frank Luntz at work. nt

2. Oops, I read this quickly and thought it said, "India Approves Largest Nuclear Attack in the World."

Seriously...
Phew.
Too much DU for me today, I think.
:crazy: :silly: :dunce:

3. Are they going to outsource their waste to the US?

:rofl:

4. India's used nuclear fuel policies are among the most sophisticated on the planet.

They, um, don't hate nuclear science there, and don't allow their public policy be dictated by people who hate that science out of ignorance.

They will have a thorium based economy before anyone else on earth, probably in less than twenty years.

Twenty years hence, as was the case 20 years ago, our anti-nukes will still be wearing their turbans and crystal balls, soothsaying mindlessly about the grand wind and solar future that never actually comes.

Have a nice day.

7. Um, can't take a joke huh?

learn to laugh at ones self and you would be surprised at how many will take you seriously.

10. Um...um...um...

I hate to exchange repartee with the sort of person who posts, without comment, dullard posts from the "we'll all die without oil" website repeatedly, and then, upon deigning to offer suddenly, with self-congratulatory fanfare, deigns to declare it wit.

India is one of the leading nations one earth working on advanced nuclear fuel cycles. They have diligently trained extremely talented and hardworking individuals to support this infrastructure, a fact about which that nation can be justifiably proud. There is nothing third world or laughable about this core of sophisticated engineers and scientists, who can put together a functional reactor of novel types in less than 5 years, while dullards in this country claim that what India does every damn day is impossible.

I have a distinct impression of what is wit and what is witless.

The "We'll all die without oil" website does little but to incite people to commit acts of extreme violence in the mistaken belief that the past is the future - the hallmark of conservatism.

India, by contrast, is planning a future, apparently out of sight of giggly little schoolboy types who clearly have no thoughts of their own, and who obviously lack wit.

I can laugh, of course, and I cry.

Ignorance and mindlessly sometimes inspire cruel humor on my part, but frankly, when I see what is becoming of <em>my</em> country because of ignorant <em>conservatives</em> from the "we'll all die without oil" website, I am more inclined to weep bitterly.

Sorry that I can't join you in smiley giggly posting.

Have a swell day tomorrow.

11. You really enjoy listening to yourself spout on about nothing, don't you?

You can't take a joke and you are unable to laugh at yourself. You must be a riot at parties.

Meh, whatever.

I make a joke and you take it as a personal offense.

You have a few things to work on.

On edit: Thanks for reading the semi-daily postings from the oildrum and the energybulletin! :)

12. Um, um, um...

I didn't say I read that drivel. If I wanted to read it, I could go there myself, but I, um, don't anymore, since I'm not into the "we'll all die without oil" meme.

Some things I do take as a joke, but what those things are would almost certainly go over the head of most anti-nukes.

Have a nice day.

[Javaman]

13. I would get that checked..

you seem to have something caught in your throat.

You might learn a few things if you chose to actually read it, but then again, you know everything, so why bother right? LOL

Once again, your pomposity shows. This is why no one on this board takes you seriously.

I'm not into the "we'll all die without oil" either. You seem to get a lot of enjoyment out of assuming that about everyone. You know what assuming does right?

I bid you adieu.

8. Yup- India's military and civilian nuclear establishments are one in the same

all there spent-fuel plutonium goes for bombs

yup

[NNadir]

9. Really? How is it that you learned this? Let me guess...

Dr. Jagannathan invited you and your pal from BP, Amory Lovins, to tour the light water reactor division research laboratories at Bhabha, and on inspection of the pitch observed in the Ni/ThO2 reflecctors, you and Amory, neither of whom have ever opened a nuclear engineering text in your pathetic lives, neither of whom were runners up for Glenn Seaborg's Nobel Prize, determined that the reactor was actually a bomb.

Fortunately you were both able to get out of India before the vast nuclear war you're always soothsaying about - while soothsaying how solar will save us by giving us all solar powered electric cars - wiped out the whole country.

Thanks for sharing.

I wait all night for statements like these.

Have a nice evening.

5. Embarrassing lack of knowledge of their nuclear program.

And an insulting "outsourcing" joke, to boot.

6. awww, hurt your feelings?
