Draft India-specific IAEA safeguards revealed

The draft IAEA safeguards agreement prepared and submitted by Indian government to IAEA for approval by the Board of Governors revealed that:

1. India can have continuous and uninterrupted nuclear fuel supply from NSG countries
2. The country separates its civilian and military nuclear facilities in a phased manner
3. India will have access to international fuel market/fuel suppliers and can have reserve of nuclear fuel.

These are in favor of the country, and the fears of the Left parties are adequately addressed. However, the more important issue is to see how quickly the US President handles the deal to get approval of the US Congress. Time is running out for both the governments.
