I agree in terms of India need. But China doesn't party to any Return Clause; Suddenly, If US asks India, pls give me all equipments & i will make compensation & worst is if NSG rules would be also same like Hyde Act or 123 Agreement in this aspect the concept of strategic fuel reserve is redundant as every country may get back parts of the reactors. Then environment will be surrounded with sleeping radio active leak.
India can live upto the standard of profileration concern; But when we need to conduct N-Test due to then prevailing security situation, Installed reactors should be guaranteed with lifetime support. There is initial understanding that incase of US was not able to meet due to domestic laws, India should have the option to contact other suppliers. If US congress men say NSG rules should be also consistent with Hyde Act & if we compromise this, Tarapur incident will be repeated.Do u see this scenario good for India? Instead, 1) India could better sign NPT as it is international agreement. 2) We should also involve our private players & concentrate on alternate energies. Best example telecom player; once BSNL shared its knowhow we have so many quality players AirTel, Tata, Reliance etc.
