◆India, Australia ink civil nuclear agreement; Canberra to supply uranium
【NEW DELHI】India and Australia scripted history on the 5th of September by signing a civil nuclear deal for the supply of uranium to the country's nuclear reactors, taking their partnership to a new level.
 The deal was signed following a dialogue between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and visiting Australian PM Tony Abbott, the first head of government to visit India since the BJP-led government assumed power in May this year
 According to the editorial of the Financial Express, following bilateral safety assurances, Australia is “happy to trust India with (its) uranium,” in the words of its Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who visited Delhi to forge a lasting alliance in energy, for “months, years, decades”.
 Abbot’s timeframe is slightly hyperbolic, but it expresses the urgency on both sides to action the deal, for reasons that are both commercial and strategic.
○The nuclear thorn in India-Japan ties
 India offers a large market for nuclear suppliers, but Japan needs to be flexible, says the editorial of The Hindu Business Line published on September 5, 2014.
 The recent visit to Japan by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought into focus the ongoing India-Japan negotiations on a civil nuclear agreement. This remains an item of unfinished business, though both sides have declared that it would be pursued with greater vigour.
 Exactly how important is this agreement in the context of India’s nuclear programme? What factors underlie the Japanese position? India has embarked upon an ambitious programme to step up nuclear power generation. This is to be achieved through (a) indigenous pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR), (b) fast breeder reactors (FBRs), and (c) imported pressurised light water reactors (PWRs) of advanced design sourced from suppliers such as Russia, France, the US and Japan.
