What tje nuclear deal among india and usa is all about???????

Question

i dont know waht de deal is all about????????

Answer 1

India needs nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants...

Hydro power and thermal power currently produced in India are not sufficient...

The best nuclear fuel can be procured from US and their allies... and for getting it we need to accept their conditions…

Answer 2

India is believed to possess an arsenal of nuclear weapons and maintains intermediate-range ballistic missiles to deliver them. Though India has not made any official statements about the size of its nuclear arsenal, different estimates indicate that India has anywhere between 50 to 250 nuclear weapons. Weapons-grade plutonium production is believed to be taking place at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, which is home to the CIRUS reactor acquired from Canada, to the indigenous Dhruva reactor, and to a plutonium separation facility.

According to a January 2001 U.S Department of Defense report, "India probably has a small stockpile of nuclear weapon components and could assemble and deploy a few nuclear weapons within a few days to a week." A 2001 RAND study by Ashley Tellis asserts that India does not have or seek to deploy a ready nuclear arsenal.

According to a report in Jane's Intelligence Review , India's objective is to have a nuclear arsenal that is "strategically active but operationally dormant", which would allow India to maintain its retaliatory capability "within a matter of hours to weeks, while simultaneously exhibiting restraint." However, the report also maintains that, in the future, India may face increasing institutional pressure to shift its nuclear arsenal to a fully deployed status.

During the visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the U.S. in July 2005, the Bush administration declared its ambition to achieve full civil nuclear energy cooperation with India. In pursuit of this objective, the Bush administration agreed to "seek agreement from the U.S. Congress to adjust U.S. laws and policies," and to "work with friends and allies to adjust international regimes to enable full civil nuclear energy cooperation and trade with India, including but not limited to expeditious consideration of fuel supplies for safeguarded nuclear reactors at Tarapur." India, on its part, promised "to assume the same responsibilities and practices and acquire the same benefits and advantages of other leading countries with advanced nuclear technologies." The U.S.-India nuclear pact virtually rewrote the rules of the global nuclear regime by accepting India as a nuclear state that should be integrated into the global nuclear order. The nuclear agreement creates a major exception to the U.S. prohibition of nuclear assistance to any country that does not accept international monitoring of all its nuclear facilities.This paper will examine the implications of this nuclear pact for global non-proliferation regime and argues that this agreement reflects how strategic considerations drive the non-proliferation priorities of great powers. Nuclear weapons states have always subordinated their non-proliferation agenda to their strategic interests. The Bush Administration believes that it is in the strategic interest of the US for India to emerge as a major global player and the nuclear agreement is merely a means towards the end. Global political realities have, once again, trumped the institutional imperatives of the nuclear non-proliferation regime.

Answer 3

sure... its about the US proliferating nucelar technology to allow their fat cat multinationals access to the huge Indian market.

North Korea gets sanctions and threats for doing the same thing.  

Answer 4

The deal,if concluded will end the Nuclear isolation of India since it carried out the test explosion of a nuclear device at Pokhran in 1974.Basically it will enable India to access much needed nuclear supplies very essential

to set up the proposed Nuclear reactors for generating

power and thus solve this perennial problem which is delaying the rapid growth of the nation and its economy.

The matter is at a crucial stage where the  Nuclear Suppliers' Group wants to impose some conditions which are not acceptable to the Indian government which wants the waiver free of any conditionalities.
