Nuclear deal riles India's researchers

Article Abstract:

A historic deal reached by US President George W. Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would end India's nuclear isolation without requiring it to give up its nuclear arsenal. The accord would end fuel shortages and accelerate the country's nuclear energy programme but many in India's nuclear establishment are concerned that it could presently be supplanted by cheaper foreign technologies and it would lose its hard-won control over civil and military nuclear future.

India's just desserts

Article Abstract:

Manmohan Singh, India's prime minister reached a nuclear cooperation deal with US President George W. Bush that would end a many decades old ban on US exports of nuclear technology or fuel to India. India has acted responsibly to prevent the proliferation of its own nuclear technology and the deal with the United States would be a boon to the growth of India's nuclear power sector but the agreement could affect the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
