Daijiworld Media Network - Kundapur (SP)

Kundapur, Sep 4: Initially, the Indian nuclear reactors were indigenously built, without depending on the imported nuclear fuels, and credit for this achievement goes entirely to Dr Homi J Bhaba, Indian Scientist of international repute. Later India has been constrained to depend on the imported Uranium due to increasing demand for imported reactors both for civilian and military use. India knows the technique of recycling the spent-up fuel through fast breeder reactors and is now capable of increasing the production of nuclear technology.

But, the guise of 123 Hyde act is threatening to convert our country into a slave of USA and has robbed us of our international status as the only leading champion of total disarmament of nuclear weapons.

Stating these facts after inaugurating a seminar on ‘electricity through nuclear energy for the development and welfare of India,’thinker Admar Sripati Acharya pointed out, that India is losing its sovereignty, self-respect and self-sufficiency in the recent past because of its increasing dependence on foreign countries.

After the address by Acharya, participants especially the lecturers, rationalists, progressive thinkers and graduate students shared their considered thoughts and opinions on the subject. Through a question-and-answer session that followed, the participants were enlightened to an integrated over-all objective view of the nuclear agreement. Sadananda Byndoor, secretary, Kundapur unit of Samudaya, welcomed the gathering.  K Prabhakaran, president, proposed vote of thanks. Udaya Gaonkar acted as the coordinator of the seminar.
