After 34 years, India to buy first Nuclear reactors, from France
India's isolation ended on Tuesday when Paris agreed to sell reactors and fuel to Delhi. This French factor comes just 24 days after the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) amended its guidelines governing civil atomic commerce.
“France is the first country with whom we have entered into such an agreement after the lifting of international restrictions on civil nuclear cooperation with India,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said after talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The pact effectively ends the 34-year-old sanctions imposed by the NSG after India conducted its first nuclear test in 1974.
India has managed to retain its nuclear deterrent, build more atomic weapons and yet be able to source civil nuclear technology from NSG nations.
