[TomInTib]

Remember your big deal with the Indianians?
You know - the one that embarrassed the pants off Pervez the A-rab?
You know - the one where we were gonna sell all that nookular fuel stuff to the Injuns and let them do whatever in the hell they want to with Tarapur4, one of the most advanced newkeyer plants on the planet and maybe we would build some more of 'em so's they could do anything they wanted with them, too?
Whaddya say about this one?

India 'secures Russian uranium'
India says Russia has agreed to sell it uranium to power two nuclear reactors.
Foreign ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna said the fuel from Moscow was needed to ensure two units at the Tarapur power station continued to operate safely.

Russia and France have intermittently provided Delhi with uranium since the US stopped supplies following India's first nuclear tests in 1974.

Under a recent deal, India is to have access to US civilian nuclear help, but cannot do so under current US law.

Non-signatory

Mr Sarna said Russia, a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group which controls global nuclear trade, was exporting "a limited amount of uranium fuel" under a safety clause.
