Old Plans, Ongoing Handouts, New Spin Deciphering the Nuclear Construction Announcement Web Exclusives M V Ramana Suvrat Raju Vol. 52, Issue No. 24, 17 Jun, 2017 Published On : 15th Jun, 2017 M V Ramana ([email protected] ) and Suvrat Raju ([email protected] ) are physicists associated with the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace, and currently based in Princeton and Bengaluru, respectively. Ramana is the author of The Power of Promise: Examining Nuclear Energy in India (Penguin India, 2012). In May 2017, the union cabinet approved the construction of 10 more 700 megawatt pressurised heavy water reactors. A careful reading of this largely public relations spin on existing plans suggests that it chiefly hopes to persuade the Nuclear Suppliers Group to accept India as a member and attract capital that aims to profit from supplying components for nuclear power plants. Given our track record, the prospects of it adding to the role of nuclear power in India appear bleak.
