Press Release: The Nuclear Policy of India.

[Guest guest]

Press Release15 July 2008Humanist Stand on Nuclear Policy of IndiaBroad points of the issue : Indian Nuclear Policy1. Realities of 123 agreement [...of the United States Atomic Energy Act of 1954, titled "Cooperation With Other Nations", establishes an agreement for cooperation as a prerequisite for nuclear deals between the US and any other nation.] is that it gives:* Control over India's scientific progress* Control over India's Foreign policy* Hyde act will bind India to agree to USA's foreign policy* Hyde act will force India to support USA on issue of Iran and hence India will become unwilling partner to attack Iran2. Nuclear Arms* Peaceful country, Gandhi's country. Should become a reference of Peace for the world* India should remain

non-nuclear* Should conduct active Peace-policy in neighborhood, spreading to Asia-pacific and to the whole globe3. India's Energy requirements* Current efficiency of 50% in production can go up to 95% for which technology is available. This will double the Energy availability without extra expenditure. Yes, Corruption will have to be 0%* There are small Hydro-Electric, Wind-Energy, Sea-water (swell, wave and current flow) Energy, Solar Energy etc. technologies waiting to be tapped* If adequate investments are made, alternative tech will become the main tech in less than 10 years4. India's own technology* Thorium-cycle based* Own developed technology* Enough raw material on southern sea-banks, mixed with sand* Conspiracy to break "Ram-setu" bridge (to open a sea route between coasts of India and Sri Lanka) in order to inundate these sea-banks to

destroy the sand-mixed-with-thorium availability to India.5. Nuclear Energy Plants* Very costly* Dangerous tech - Chernobyl, 3-Mile, Japanese accidents* West (US, Europe, Japan, Australia, Russia) has stopped putting new plants for over a decade* Nuclear Energy is neither clean nor cheap* It's the way to process Uranium/Plutonium to make Bombs* Anyway, Uranium for 50 years is available within India, as per Government - then why this hurry to ask others for Uranium ?* We don't need Uranium, hence we don't need 123 agreement* Nuclear Energy is neither Cheap, nor Clean. Half-life of Nuclear-waste is over 28,000 years* Nuclear Energy plant will take more than 7 years in the building* Current Nuclear Energy capacity utilization today is less than 30% of its potential. Why ?* Lack of transparency about the accidents that have taken place in

Indian Nuclear establishment so far* US is playing the game of its Nuclear-Energy plant lobby, reinforced by its need to control India's scientific and Foreign policy independence to push this outdated technologyNotes:India needs Energy (to give electricity to its citizens) and not nuclear arms.Nuclear Energy is neither cheap, nor clean. West has not built any new such plant in the last 20 or more years due to accidents in Chernobyl, Three-mile Island, Japan and elsewhere.American Nuclear Energy plant manufacturers are a very strong and rich lobby but on the verge of being rendered extinct due to there being no new sales.USA needs to control India's independent technological progress. USA is always against any other country becoming independent in technology needs, because that reduces the USA market stretch and control. Same is the case of all the issues that USA

has with Iran.Looking at all this, those ‘calling the shots' have written the Hyde act that will put in place controls by US Government to make it mandatory for India to agree on in order to get any Nuclear technology and/or materials from USA or any member of the Nuclear Club. This will put the so-called great agreement at the mercy of US government's foreign policy, while the money would have already been paid to the companies to buy the Nuclear Energy plant materials. These plants would then become useless for India, while the lobby would have made huge monies.Also, the thorium-cycle based technology that has been independently developed by Indian scientists would have to be abandoned, due to changes in the power-cycle technology given by USA. Even if USA does not have the thorium-cycle technology they are adamant that India not only gives them these secrets but also that India does not

make any further progress in its independently developed technological fields.USA is trying to kill many birds with one stone.The Indian establishment consisting of the main Political parties and US-supporting media is hiding these facts and are talking about the great technology (sic!) that would be available to India through this departure from today's norm. Only the left-wing parties are showing an independent stand in this matter and we hope they will not make any compromises at any stage on this issue.Further:With the details pointed out above, the Humanist Party of India demands:1. That India improves its energy production regime, using the currently available technology, and take the production efficiency to a minimum of 95%.All those involved in this production, who cannot perform properly should be summarily fired and young engineers backed with the very

effective Indian public sector companies like BHEL/EIL/PGCIL and others be given full charge to produce and distribute economically and efficiently produced electricity, which then, should be supplied to people on a no-profit-no-loss basis by completely Government owned bodies, without allowing any profit to anyone in between.Indian citizens, including the farmers, are ready to pay for a properly priced clean and regular energy supply available to all in abundance.2. That India closes down all its plants producing Nuclear arms and conduct speedy, sincere and top-priority talks with Pakistan and China to reach agreements of Proportional and Complete Disarmament (both Nuclear and non-Nuclear arms) within a fixed time-frame.3. That India, taking with it all the SAARC nations (to be followed with inclusion of all Asia-Pacific nations) invest heavily in Non-conventional technologies to

produce electricity and make these areas the main avenues for producing energy. Understanding that it is possible to change this scenario in less than 10 years, if the procedures are handled properly.4. India, taking with it the SAARC nations, and African and Latin-American nations, should expose the real facts of speculation by the West-led banks/funds that have hijacked the oil markets and increased the price of oil artificially, while manipulating billions of dollars for themselves and putting the livelihood of billions of people at risk.5. That if the Indian Government cannot take this step, it should resign from power and let people decide on the fate of the nation and its future.. This Government has no mandate nor any right to hijack the lives of its own citizens for the personal-selfish-violent interests of a few politicians and their western masters.The World does not want

Salempur, Distt.: Deoria 274509, U.P."It is now 30 years since I have been confining myself to the treatment ofchronic diseases. During those 30 years I have run against so many histories of littlechildren who had never seen a sick day until they were vaccinated and who, in the severalyears that have followed, have never seen a well day since. I couldn't put my finger onthe disease they have. They just weren't strong.

Their resistance was gone. They wereperfectly well before they were vaccinated. They have never been well since. "---Dr. William Howard Hay
