In case the US or other countries in the Nuclear Suppliers Group renege on fuel supply assurances for imported reactors, will we have the ability to withdraw these reactors from IAEA safeguards? No If US or NSG countries renege on fuel supply assurances, can we withdraw our indigenous civilian reactors from IAEA Safeguards? No If we have to bring nuclear fuel from the non-safeguarded part of our nuclear programme for these reactors in case of fuel supply assurances not being fulfilled, will we have the ability to take it back again? No What are the corrective steps that India can take if fuel supplies are interrupted by the US or NSG countries? India has no authority to take corrective measures. What are the conditions that India will have to fulfill if the corrective steps are to be put into operation? No Conditions as India cannot take corrective steps. USA's decision is final & binding. It is critical for the country that the IAEA Safeguards Agreement is discussed with full transparency and not kept secret. Why is the Manmohan Singh [Images] government keeping the draft of the IAEA Agreement secret from the people of India? Because any Indian with a simple common sense will reject this deal as we will lose our authorities on our N-Plants.
One more question which this govt. should answer is with all these, when we will get N-energy and at what cost? Is it worth investing so hugh amount?
