Summary:

This happened for the good reason that the country's 'Janes-faced' or
dual-purpose nuclear energy programme is the jewel in the crown of
the Indian state and spearheads the longstanding policy of government
to make Indian an advanced scientific and technological power. The
nuclear deal has come to be seen as undermining this national intent
and ambition by substituting self-reliance with risky dependence on
foreign Countries and Companies. The deal promised facilitation of
trade and commerce in frontline nuclear technologies. But the only
technology readily on offer is seen to be the light water reactor
that are finding it difficult to be peddled elsewhere, including in
their own countries, to their own people, because of the widespread
concerns about nuclear accidents, radiation hazards, and
environmental damage, a 'la Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. The fact
that India was unlikely easily to access other technologies after the
enabling US law the so-called "Hyde Act", was legislated in December
2006 by the US Congress. This Act expressly forbids sale or transfer
of any technology related to uranium enrichment, plutonium
reprocessing, and heavy water production.
