It's but sad that the much talked about Indo-US Nuke Deal does not find a mention in this forum.
Anyway i'll but it short and nice of what the deal means:
The Indian PM Manmohan Singh and President Bush have successfully agreed upon the Indo-US Nuclear Deal. It seen as a historic step not only from the two countries' point of view but also other countries.
Major points to see here are:
1. Unlimited nuclear supply to India.
2. Successful separation of civilian and military nuclear eactors. The civilian nuclear reactors are placed under safeguards. But the military ones are not. Also as wanted, the fast breeder reactors are not under safeguards.
3. It ends decades long nuclear isolation for India.
4. Conditions upon NPT signatories still don't apply to India.
The Future:
1. Bush must make the Congress agree to the plan.
2. Sanctions from the Nuclear Suppliers Group(NSG).
3. Acceptance from other nuclear powered states.
4. New Delhi has to approach the IAEA to put civilian nuclear reactors under safegaurds.
5. Stiff opposition for PM in parliament.
Bush and Manmohan termed the deal as 'historic'. In his speech, Bush said that although the PM and he would face opposition, it was a bold step in the right direction. He also said that the world must change due to shortage of fossil fuels in the future.
He also said that this would lead other countries into having there own civilian nuclear deals. He also appreciated Manmohan for his courage to make such a deal a reality....
