India is the only country in the world to which USA agreed to give nuclear cooperation without signing the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Experts said the USA agreed to give India advance, long-term permission to reprocess U.S.-origin nuclear material once New Delhi builds a new reprocessing facility that would only use such material. This is happening despite the fact that the Americans "do not give consent rights to reprocess except to our closest allies, Japan and Euratom, The 123 agreement also says that while the United States might cut off nuclear cooperation in the event of an Indian nuclear test, it will seek to ensure India continues receiving fuel from other sources. Australia signaled Thursday it is edging toward a decision to sell uranium to India despite the refusal by New Delhi to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
India would become Australia's first uranium customer that is not part of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

Stop joking, we can read english and understand the 123 agreement. No right to reprocess has been given and there is no assurance of fuel supplies. What is worse is that the US can terminate the agreement and will and all civilian reactors would still be under safeguards although no fuel is available
