d) India must make available to the US full and complete information on its nuclear-elated activities, including such nitty-gritty as an estimate of the amount of uranium mined and milled in India during the previous year; the amount of such uranium that has likely been used or allocated for the production of nuclear explosive devices; and the rate of production in India of fissile material for nuclear explosive devices; an estimate of the amount of electricity India’s nuclear reactors produced for civil purposes during the previous year and the proportion of such production that can be attributed to India’s declared civil reactors; and an analysis as to whether imported uranium has affected the rate of production in India of nuclear explosive devices.
If, after signing the deal, India is pressed for these details by the US from time to time, can it refuse saying that the Hyde Act is the domestic legislation of the US?
Section 106 of the Hyde Act is also categorical that all exemptions and waivers granted under the Act shall cease to be effective if India is found to have detonated a nuclear explosive device after the date of the enactment. If the President does not act on this requirement, he will be liable to impeachment for breach of law.
And if all further flow of fuel, technology and equipment ceases and those already supplied are recalled, can India plead that the Hyde Act is a domestic legislation?
