The study says the US draws 21 percent of its electricity from this source, while it is 78 percent for France, 40 percent for Japan, 15 percent for South Korea and around 25 percent for Russia.
Referring to the much-discussed Hyde Act, the study says it was a relevant and enabling legislation passed by the US Congress and assented by the president that allows the country to work out the nuclear cooperation agreement with India.
"Without the Hyde Act, it would not have been possible for the two countries to discuss the 123 Agreement because various sanctions of the US Atomic Energy Act forbade such initiatives vis-à ¶is India."
Soon after the study was released, a panel of experts, corporate leaders and MPs, including Communist Party of India secretary D. Raja examined it.

Comment 1: US has put a ban on expansion on nuclear power projects is it not advisable to do the same in other friendly countries.Spending a huge amount to import nuclear fuel rods the cost of which is twice that of coal driven power, will eat a good portion of india's excequer, besides another substantial portion will have to be kept aside for waste disposal which will tear the pockets while other developments like road building and eradication of diseases among the poor will standstill. Even now many projectls like Vajpayees road building and food for work in the villages of India is not finding progress due to rampant curruption in parts of the country. There are no roads with out potholes and no days without uninterupted powersupply any where there. But the signing of the deal can go on on one condition that purchase of the uraniam fuel is not mandatory.

Comment 2: This so called study appears to be just a propaganda. The only and single most purpose of this agreement is to save the bankrupted US corporations. Giving a cover up as if India is going to be the next Super power just second to the great master. From the Indian side this deal only for the business community who is looking for many ways to sell India.
