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?

Hmmmmm...
do u know that 6-10 Nuke reactors have been specifically kept for our defence needs..these do not come under any treaties/acts/clauses/sub-clauses...
these include the fast breeder ones...
so what do we have to submit is civilian nuclear power plants..not defence ones...so kindly understand the basis of the talk...our nuclear programme goes on as usual..but we open up only our civilian ones for IAEA inspectors or americans..in civilian reactors there is nothing to hide..all is on paper..black and white...so we have nothing to loose..the treaty is very much beneficial to India as this gives us more than fuel Massive Nuke Tech...which is being denied to us from past 40 yrs...imagine with this tech..how many miracles will be done in our nations surge forwards..India will surely jump into the G8 club...watch out..do not be an irritant to this national growth..do not fall for any crazy leftist and Bjp propagandas..
