U.S. and India Reach Nuclear Agreement

The U.S. and India have concluded a civilian nuclear accord in which the two parties can exchange technology and materials, and brings India's civilian plants under International Atomic Energy Agency inspection. Some critics are concerned the deal allows India to use its other reactors to make more weapons material and gives special treatment to a country which did not sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Will this deal allow closer relations with the world's largest democracy and facilitate greater cooperation and oversight in their nuclear industry, or will it tempt others to join the nuclear club and hope for an exception later?
