The document discusses the Indo-US Nuclear Deal from the perspective of analyzing its costs and benefits. It collects views from experts like Arun Shourie, P.K. Iyengar, and A.N. Prasad on issues like whether the deal equals nuclear power, the need to consider costs versus benefits, and the role of science versus politics in such agreements. These experts note that while nuclear power is important for India's energy needs, the deal does not offer subsidized uranium or new cheap reactors as assumed by some. It primarily allows India more freedom to explore the international nuclear market and buy uranium at $85 per pound.
