The Bleeding Nuclear Reactors of India

Left wants to ensure that Indian government rejects the Indo-US nuke deal. This way they can protect India to have right of carrying its own weoponised nuclear arsenal.
Good thought- now followoing are the efficiency levels of various Civilian Nuc;ler Reactors in India:




These figure show that none of the India Nuclear Plants are working at their optimum levels. using simple arithmetics it can be seen that Indian nuclear plans are operating at only 52% of their maximum levels. That too because Tarapore gets dierect Uranium supply from Russia. The fuel shortage is killing all our reactors. The indian agencies are now fighting to keep the reactors at the critical levels. Obviously this is not what many indians know.
The matter of fact is that the energy gets propsperity - which in turn strenthens our armed forces and hence make our country safer. Having a Nuke bomb to feel safe is a myth. Both India and pakistan had Nukes when they went into Kargil. The entire Cold War was fought at various places killing scores - with Nukes used.
The fools at north block need to wake up and understand these realities
