India acquires nuclear options

From the AP in today's Winston-Salem Journal:

NEW DELHI
Reversing years of U.S. policy, President Bush ushered India into the world's exclusive nuclear club yesterday with a landmark agreement to share nuclear reactors, fuel and expertise with this energy-starved nation in return for its acceptance of international safeguards.
Eight months in the making, the accord would end India's long isolation as a nuclear maverick that defied world appeals and developed nuclear weapons. India agreed to separate its tightly entwined nuclear industry - declaring 14 reactors as commercial plants and eight as military - and to open the civilian side to international inspections for the first time.
The agreement must be approved by Congress, and Bush acknowledged that might be difficult because India still refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
"I'm trying to think differently, not stay stuck in the past," said Bush, who has made improving relations with India a goal of his administration.
