Grand Nuclear Bargain: A Global Jeopardy Alarm

India is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and only in recent years started taking steps to separate its military and civilian nuclear programs.
Last year, a report from the Indian auditor-general found the country's nuclear safety regulator was weak and unable to properly monitor the industry.(ABC NEWS)

Yes and after all of that we are still going to be getting uranium from Australia.

Do you know why? Because India was not selling nuclear knowhow to Iran, North Korea.

You should stop posting these hype creating videos

Since India has not signed any International or bilateral treaty regarding this , sure India will conduct nuclear test if the need arise .

India ask this deal for using civil purpose, but there is no surity that india will use it for civil purpose, so Australia should quit this deal, because this deal starts a new Arms race in South Asia.

 

[HumaNaz]

This is not good deal, because india will use this uranium for making arms.

Australia needs to quit this deal

Australia needs to quit this deal

This Uranium can not be used in arms as there stands a water tight agreement and watchdog as IAE is using its prying eyes on such...

 

[HumaNaz]

India is busy developing unannounced nuclear reactors and fast breeding reactors to produce weapons grade uranium for nuclear and thermonuclear weapons, right after it started a nuclear arms race in 1973 in the South Asian region.

As if with out australia we will not make mushroom bomb..height of stupidity

How about the same argument when China supplying Pakistan with its fifth and possibly sixth Chinese-designed nuclear power reactor since the first joint reactor project was launched in the mid-1990s.

The deal, reached in mid-2013, will mark the first time China has exported its new ACP-1000 pressurised water reactor (PWR), which is capable of producing 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity. Despite the civilian nature of the project, the deal for additional Chinese-built power reactors has raised concerns among international observers that it may contribute to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons programme and increase the risk of proliferation in the region.

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Your head is in the clouds, friend. The Uranium produced by all these reactors can be used for making the bomb unless there are strict controls by the IAEA. Many people may not realize that every nuclear power plant - as a normal part of the fissioning process - produces plutonium. Plutonium and/or highly-enriched uranium are essential ingredients of nuclear bombs.

Whether these controls are in place for the new Chinese nuclear reactors supplied to Pakistan is the question. Are they? If not, then Pakistan is well on the way to producing weapons grade Uranium/Plutonium from these Chinese reactors for their nukes.

India’s program is not subject to international restrictions or inspections and reject the Non-Proliferation Treaty,However, India’s international isolation ended through a 2008 cooperation deal with the United States, where both President George W Bush and his successor Barack Obama have agreed that the world’s largest democracy is a responsible nuclear power.

Australian uranium exports to India will accelerate India's nuclear arms race. India is among the greatest failures of global nuclear nonproliferation efforts (Diversion from Civilian to military). Selling uranium to India will fuel military and nuclear tensions in SE Asia.

Actually India is one of the rare success of nuclear non-proliferation. India despite not being a signatory to NPT has not sold nuclear know-how to any third country where as Pakistan was selling nuclear know-how to Iran and North Korea.

It is the recognition of this fact why India was given an exemption from the NPT requirements.
