Dreams unlimited Zero Output

Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) intends to set up 16,900 MW of extra nuclear capacity at an investment of Rs 1,01,400 crore ($23.03 billion) during the 11th Plan (2007-2012).
Today's ET news. This is 100th time that NPCIl has revisited their plans and each time plans gets bigger and bigger. But where is the fuel to run such huge capacity. Installed capacity of approx 3500Mwe as on today is no were near its 80% capacity factor because of unavailability of fuel. Such huge investments without ensuring fuel supply will be as good as throwing good money behind bad money.

Call them breeder , fast breeder or advanced PHWR , nothing is proven yet as good as building castles in air.

With such ambitious plans of growth what about the Human Resource development. Engineers are leaving the organisation like any thing.

Four reactors are under construction two units at kaiga and two at Rajsthan where from the fuel will come if the existing reactors requirements are not fed completely.
