![]() Before it can take effect, Bush will have to certify that the pact is consistent with the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as well as that it is U.S. policy to work with others to restrict the further transfer of equipment and technology for uranium enrichment and reprocessing spent nuclear fuel. India and the United States will also exchange diplomatic notes to put into effect the agreement, ratified by the U.S. Senate last week and the House of Representatives last month. The India-U.S. deal could open up around $27 billion in investment in 18 to 20 nuclear plants in India over the next 15 years, according to the Confederation of Indian Industry. |
