Uraniam to india?

Question

what do you think off the australian goverment selling uraniam to india

Answer 1

The Australian Prime Minister Mr. John Howard,s firm decision to export Uranium to India is a welcome move. But it comes with many conditions which India has to navigate:-

1. Conclusion of a suitable safeguards agreement between India and the International Atomic Energy Agency, covering all designated civil nuclear facilities.

2. Conclusion by India of an additional protocol on strengthened safeguards.

3. Satisfactory progress in implementing India's commitment to place designated civil nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards in perpetuity.

4. A consensus decision by the Nuclear suppliers Group to make an exception to its guidelines enabling International civil supply to India.

5. Conclusion of a bilateral civil nuclear cooperation agreement between India and the United States.

6. Conclusion of a bilateral Australia - India safeguards agreement.

His firm decision is appreciable, considering the domestic criticism he is facing.
