Only the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) and Japan currently have the right to reprocess, and now the India will be the third country to get reprocessing rights from the US. the US-India Business Council (USIBC) said. Under the agreement, the spent nuclear fuel from US nuclear plants to be set up in India will be allowed to be reprocessed. "USIBC expects the bilateral pact on reprocessing which is one of the threshold points for implementation of historic Indo-US deal to be completed in a week or two," USIBC director Ted Jones said.
National security advisor M K Narayanan had said during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's recent visit to the US, "we have arrived into the last stage of negotiations (on reprocessing)... only one issue remains, that of finalising the legal text".
