1. Scientists concerned over Indo-US nuclear bill
Press Trust of India
New Delhi, December 10, 2006

Country's top nuclear scientists have expressed concern over the provision in the bill passed by the US Congress to implement Indo-US nuclear deal that seeks to cap India's right to conduct atomic tests.

However, they were of the view that the current legislation was meant only for the US lawmakers and the bilateral cooperation on sharing civil nuclear technology would be governed by the 123 agreement between the two countries.

"India need not worry about the legislation passed by the US Congress as it is meant for the US lawmakers. India is obliged only to the bilateral agreement (123 Agreement)," former Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Chairman MR Srinivasan said.

"We have to work for further negotiations on the 123 Agreement. If that is modified in favour of India then we will go ahead in signing the deal," he said.
