The Royal Society and The Royal Academy of Engineering have jointly studied the role of nuclear energy in generating electricity and have concluded that it is vital to keep the nuclear option open. The study refers to the status of nuclear electricity in France, where it is sold at art economic price, and says that it would be irresponsible to abandon nuclear energy in UK. Signals emanating from other countries also point to likely revival of interest in nuclear power. Considering India's resource position, large-scale development of nuclear power is inevitable to ensure long-term energy security. [References: 12]
