U.S. Lifts Ban On Nuclear Trade With India
Friday, October 10, 2008 :President Bush has signed legislation to lift a three-decade ban on nuclear trade with India. The deal will allow India to expand its nuclear power industry without requiring it to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty as other nations must. Critics say the agreement encourages nuclear production worldwide, because it effectively rewards India for developing nukes outside the treaty. We speak to Achin Vanaik, professor at Delhi University.
He is a founding member of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace, a group founded after India conducted its first nuclear test in 1998.
