2 Assam can supply 50% India's energy needs--EMPOWER US.Ask us how?
3 His plan to elecrify all the remaining 600 million's homes is possible
only with Distributed Generating using the Direct Methanol Fuel Cell--and
Assam can provide all the Methanol Fuel .
4 If India is hyped as Strong IN Peaceful Atomics then popularise it--have
kids 12+ play with Subcritical Reactors at District Science Centers. In 1959
as a Post-Graduate Student at Southampton University ,South England-we had
one in the Basement-and the keys were with the janitor--
Bartta BISTAR -or such -had their correspondents at the meet.

NET News Network
Guwahati, Sept 11: Allying the fears of the non- governmental organizations
of Meghalaya regarding the dangers of uranium mining, noted scientist and
principal scientific adviser to the government of India, Dr R. Chidambaram
said that uranium mining would not have any adverse affect on the health of
the people of the state.
Speaking on the eleventh incorporation day function of the North Eastern
Development Finance Corporation Limited (NEDFi), Chidambaram said that the
uranium mining would rather help the state, as the mining will dig out the
radioactive elements from the ground." Experience with uranium mining
worldwide has shown that it has not done any kind of damage to the people
residing in the vicinity of the mining area," he said.
The nuclear scientist added that there is regulatory body, which will
ensure the safety of the locals. " In Jaduguda in Jharkhand uranium mining
is continuing and it has not caused any harm to the people and environment
of the area," he said.
Uranium mining by Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL) is opposed by
dozens of non-governmental organizations including the regional party,
Hills State Peoples Democratic Party since early 90,s on the ground that
the radiations emanating from it will affect the health of people residing
near the mining area.
The UCIL officials however maintained that the Company would start its
project in West Khasi Hills only after receiving the consent of the people.
UCIL officials would continue to clear doubts aired by the anti-uranium
mining groups. The UCIL, propose to develop an opencast mine in
Kylleng-Pyndemsohiong Uranium ore deposits and also established a
processing plant near Mawthabah in West Khasi Hills district.
To meet the growing demand of uranium for nuclear power, UCIL has expanded
its activities both in mining and processing plants. The operating units
under UCIL at present are located at Jaduguda, Bhatin Narwapahar and
Singhbum. The total estimated reserve of Uranium in India is estimated at
5.920 tonnes.
North Eastern Hills University research scholars, who were part of the team
of the twenty seven member visiting Jaduguda in Jharkhand recently,
maintained that the radon and gama radiation levels both inside and outside
the mines at Jaduguda were well within the prescribed limits.
