Civilian Nuclear deal is good or bad for India in broader prospectives..? As per my understanding of the 123 agreement and IAEA draft, both available online, Nuclear deal with US applies to cooperation on harnessing nuclear energy for civilian use only and not for making any nuclear explosives, and that only to Nuclear and non nuclear components, technology, information and fuel transferred using this agreement. This does not apply to any nuclear research and development carried out in India's own Nuclear facilities(for Military purposes) that are not using any of the transferred things transferred under Nuclear deal. So, we can still use our Nuclear facilities for all kind of advanced research. All Nuclear facilities that come under pursuit of IAEA safeguards are actually notified by Govt. of India while signing the agreements and it can opt to keep any or all of the existing Military research facilities out of both these agreements. All new Civilian Nuclear facilities using the Technologies or components transferred using these agreements come under IAEA safeguards automatically..
That way it looks to be good for India. Please correct me if i am wrong in any ways..
What's your take on this? Lets discuss and exchange our views..

However, if India conducts any nuclear weapon test, then the nuclear supplier group may stop supplying raw materials to the civilian nuclear programme
