US and India agree nuclear deal

India, long left out on its own in the nuclear energy world because of its failure to sign the international Non-Proliferation Treaty, has reached agreement with the US on co-operation over civil nuclear energy. India will be allowed to keep a strategic supply of fuel for its reactors and will be able to reprocess US nuclear fuel, monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The deal states that if for any reason the supply of used fuel from the US stops the US will help India find alternative sources of fuel from other countries.
