It has elements of NPT,CTBT,FMCT all rolled into one.well bush's nuke deal with india is well thought out plan of Cap,rollback and eliminate Indian nukes...

i say hyde act is quasi NPT for separated reactors.Wasn't that obama party to hyde amendment????i think 1-2 clause were suggested by obama not sure which one....BTw i think china -pak nuke deal is way better than indo-us nuke deal.they dont 've any restrictions like hyde act and im sure those reactors will sure be out of NSG and IAEA purview...and pakistan can get all the required uranium from australia through china.India got cheated by civil nuke deal. same as it got cheated in enron (dhabol) powerplant project or in union carbide case.you can think of India as being an NPT member, in the Bush nuclear deal there is a document called the Hyde act some of the terms in this are tougher than terms in the NPT.

does all these rules apply to other nuke deals india signed with french and russians?It has elements of NPT,CTBT,FMCT all rolled into one.
Yeah Obama was involved in some parts of the Hyde act. If China transfers Uranium outside of guidelines by IAEA,NSG they will be in NPT violation, not that they care or Obama would be capable of doing anything about it. India is under more scrutiny if we buy from USA; we are under heavy restrictions, but our major fuel suppliers will be Kazakstan a non-NSG member and Russia who will also bend the rules if China is bending the rules, especially since they can make billions upon billions from it.i say hyde act is quasi NPT for separated reactors.Wasn't that obama party to hyde amendment????i think 1-2 clause were suggested by obama not sure which one....BTw i think china -pak nuke deal is way better than indo-us nuke deal.they dont 've any restrictions like hyde act and im sure those reactors will sure be out of NSG and IAEA purview...and pakistan can get all the required uranium from australia through china.India got cheated by civil nuke deal. same as it got cheated in enron (dhabol) powerplant project or in union carbide case.
No we have separate deals with the Russians,French and Canadians. The Russian nuclear deal was completed on paper long before the Bush nuclear deal went thru. Bush nuclear deal gave us the important NSG clearance that allowed for separate individual deals with other nationsdoes all these rules apply to other nuke deals india signed with french and russians?
USA has not built reactors in almost 30 years the most advanced reactors are claimed to be japanese reactors. Russians and French have already setup shop. The nuclear deal is more or less a stepping stone until our thorium reactors are in full steam then most of our fuel supply will be indigenous. USA recently gave us a good reprocessing agreement for the spent fuel. The need of the hour is the fuel not the reactors.India would be better off by not buying the usa or canadian reactors and it will be foolish on indian govt part for insisting to pass on nuke liability bill under usa pressure with the experience of union carbide case behind it.
do you mean to say that civil nuke deal is just stop-gap plan untill india's thorium based reactor get ready and after that india will be free of civil nuke deal clutches and will start testing again???USA has not built reactors in almost 30 years the most advanced reactors are claimed to be japanese reactors.

India will be more independent in fuel requirements in a about a decade, once the 4 Fast breeder reactors are up an running. The civil nuke deal is a stop gap but we will always need some uranium even for the thorium reactors. The civil nuke deal is not a bad thing, depending on our security situation we should assess if any tests are needed, the goal should not be to be to test, but to have enough fuel to grow the economy. By that time most countries maybe testing in supercomputers and maybe weapons may have even changed and the focus maybe towards more space type weapons???do you mean to say that civil nuke deal is just stop-gap plan untill india's thorium based reactor get ready and after that india will be free of civil nuke deal clutches and will start testing again???
if i recall coirrectly i saw in your FBR thread(i'm unable to find it now) that indian FBR is at experimental stage will it be proven in say in 10 yrs or so.more over another point struck to me in that thread that FBR will generation capacity will be around 600-700MW but on the other hand uranium based reactors we are getting from french an russians have capacity in the range of 1000-1600MW.in order to achieve the power generation capacity we will need FBR in 2:1 ratio as compared to uranium based reactors.Is it possible that FBR will be cost effective???India will be more independent in fuel requirements in a about a decade, once the 4 Fast breeder reactors are up an running.

This is a good question , you are the first person to ask this after all the pages in my fast breeder thread.You are looking at the prototypes the real ones will be generating much more megawatts.if i recall coirrectly i saw in your FBR thread(i'm unable to find it now) that indian FBR is at experimental stage will it be proven in say in 10 yrs or so.more over another point struck to me in that thread that FBR will generation capacity will be around 600-700MW but on the other hand uranium based reactors we are getting from french an russians have capacity in the range of 1000-1600MW.in order to achieve the power generation capacity we will need FBR in 2:1 ratio as compared to uranium based reactors.Is it possible that FBR will be cost effective???
All the Fast breeder reactors are on the military side. Imported uranium is only for the civilian reactors. The plan is to use our indigenous uranium for our military reactors and use imported uranium for our civilian reactors. Future reactors will be decided by the govt where they will be placedLF,
will the FBR be classified as civilian reactors or military???If its later then they cant use imported uranium.so will the indian uranium be enough to mix up with thorium to run them?
