The Nuclear Deal

BUSH in India! Thats the news thats hitting the headlines all across the globe. What does this deal mean to India ? Why the deal ? Why now ? Is it advantage India or advantage US ?

India has finalised a plan to separate its civilian and militarian nuclear programmes. With that in place, India will have access to the US civilian nuclear technologies' know how, something that will be really helpful for India's power generation programmes of the future. Nuclear power is just 3% of India's total power generation which has been projected to increase to 25% by 2050 ...

There's another angle to the deal though. Some reports say that a detailed study reveals US doesnt have experience in the design and construction of the current or future Indian nuclear reactor projects.

Is it really advantage India?! Time will tell. But the deal is definitely an indication that India is now a global responsible power.
