Indian salivates on nuclear technology

India and USA celebrated signing of a “civil nuclear deal” in March 2006. Under the deal India committed 14 of its 22 nuclear power plants as being for civil use retaining 8 to produce weapon grade fissile material. On August 1, 2008, the IAEA approved the Indian Safeguard Agreement and on September 6, 2008, India was granted waiver at the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) paving way for nuclear trade with other willing countries.
