It is sad that Rajeev has not read the IAEA safeguards agreement. 1.The safeguards apply to civilian facilities.(Para 11) 2.No agreement would guarantee fuel supplies. Please check if a gas based power plant has guaranteed fuel supply. In a nuclear power plant, the organisation that supplies the equipment also is contracted to supply fuel. Ex Koodankulam in TN. 3.Saying US of A would be benefited is childish, any country with advanced technology in nuclear energy would be benefit. It is like saying, I should not expand my aviation industry because that would benefit Boeing. For the record, France and Russia are more advanced in nuclear power tehcnology and would benefit more. Remember our honourable ex home minister hislef mentioned post POkhran that INdia does not more tests. Why the sudden need now?
