Here are the quotes from Amit Bhandari;
Amit Bhandari, Energy Expert and India’s leading think-tank Gateway House told Sputnik, “Considering the cost of a reactor that Westinghouse is building in the US, cost per megawatt works out to $7.5 million while the approved cost of Kudankulam Unit 3 & 4 is $2.9 million. So there seems a strong likelihood that the cost of Westinghouse reactors will exceed that of the Russian reactors in India.” Russia’s Rosatom operates two reactors at Kudankulam, in Tamil Nadu.
“Solar and wind energy are already cheaper than nuclear power in India — in this scenario, any new nuclear project has to be evaluated for its commercial viability, otherwise we risk ending up with a white elephant,” says Amit Bhandari.
