The Hindu : India guarded on international nuclear report - 0 views
-
Energy Net on 21 Dec 09India has adopted a guarded approach to the report on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament released by the Prime Ministers of Japan and Australia in Tokyo on Tuesday. "The focus remains very much on what could be done to shore up the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty [NPT] in the run-up to the 2010 conference," informed sources said. While endorsing some of the provisions, the sources were dismayed by the report's observations on the new-found enthusiasm for civil nuclear energy by some countries, which it felt, could be a possible source of proliferation. However, former National Security Adviser Brajesh Mishra, one of the Commissioners on the panel, did not endorse the perception. "They have not targeted India,'' he said.
