Senators Joseph Biden, John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, who met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here, said if the deal is not taken up the US Congress by June and the process completed during the tenure of President George W Bush, any new US administration will "renegotiate" the deal.
They talked about the possibility of Indo-US relations being impacted if the deal does not go through, saying there could be "misunderstanding" in India and questions as to whether the failure was deliberate by the US Congress.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister told them about the "dilemma" and "difficulties" of his government because of coalition but remained optimistic about concluding the deal, the Senators told a press conference in New Delhi.
"We are running out of time. The clock is running," said Biden, Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee when asked what message they conveyed to Singh.
Biden said India will have to firm up the Safeguards agreement with IAEA and seek waiver from 45-nation NSG before June to enable the US Congress to vote on it.
"If the deal is not before the Senate by early June, there will be little chance (of the deal going through)," he said, adding there would be practical problems as the Congress ill have only 20 sittings during which issues related to US budget will dominate.

Saddam oil bribed Congress party his ambassador later phoned Sonia to confirm it. Sonia sold it at market rate to: Masefield AG. The difference between the concessional and the market price, and including the interest it is Rs. 528 crores. Money was kept in a Swiss bank then transferred to Cayman Island to New York. Sonia’s bribe ended up in the Yonkers branch of HSBC bank in New York, deposited in the account of Century Development Group, Inc account number: 652-72521-0. This is a benami a/c of Sonia is operated on her behalf by Zach Thomas, the New York based brother-in-law of Sonia’s assistant Vincent George. Chidambaram introduced participatory notes to launder this money. Sonia used the Fidelity Investments Company of New York to make purchases of stocks and bought real estates in US, and used Muthoot Co of Kerala to invest money in India. After Volcker Report Sonia instructed Thomas to get rid of all the records. Sonia is also implicated in the LC opened by Vitol Financiers. This brings back the Bofors, which is a blot on India. Natwar is a messenger who got a bit of oil, but he could be killed like Scindia if Sonia is not arrested and questioned.
In 1977 Jimmy Carter signed an executive order which banned the reprocessing of nuclear fuel in the US. The Americans thought wrongly that Plutonium containing all isotopes, separated from the reactor can be used for making the bomb by terrorists..More than 30 years USA did not construct a single nuke power plant and did not attract any new talent. US don’t have a single engineer of scientist to do design or research in nuke technology or for operation, maintenance etc, for new power reactors. Bush is pushing for new nuke power plants and the first one is not coming in US mainland but in Alaska in 2010. If US has to construct the 14 or so nuke power plant, they have to recruit Indians.. Every nuke engineer, and scientist will disappear to US for better prospects and India's nuclear programme will be in cold storage. Next US president could be Barak Hussain Obama who denies that he was born a muslim and was going to a madrasa. The way India is being run by UPA, we will end up having an Egyptian belly dancer as our PMRead my blogs
Kakodkar was shunted to Bombay IIT to teach, instead of working at BARC full time which is normal for those who are very good, and yet he was promoted to the position of Chairman and given three extensions. Menon is elevated bypassing many seniors on US insistence. Apparent murder of J.N.Dixit by Pakis as he had died after visiting Pak embassy similar to that happened to Lal Bahadur Sastry. Series of murders in apparent accidents of patriots like Scindia, Pilot etc on Sundays. UPA declares that there is no Ram to SC. Minting of Indian coins with christian cross. All christian MPs meeting ULFA terrorists. The latest is the Indo US nuke deal which came as a bolt from the blue without any apparent benefit for India and will help US to spy on India. This list is endless but are interlinked somehow very sinister in nature We should remember that Russia gave us 58 tons of low enriched uranium in February 2001, to power two U.S.-built TAP I and II at Tarapur for which USA refused to supply fuel. This shipment was condemned by USA. They applied pressure on Russia to prevent further supplies. USA funds conversion in India and is a threat to our nuclear and national safety..

Something Siniser about Indo US nuclear deal. Take for example the breeder reactor program of USA and India. USA: Experimental Breeder Reactor 1 was operated from 1951-63. It was closed down after a partial core meltdown accident. India has been actively conducting fast breeder R

If you all think that the Indian government and the scientific community are fools to negotiate the deal, you are living in a fools paradise. Please leave it to the scientist and the government to dicide. Trust Dr. Manmohan Singh and our scientists.
My Indian friend, don't just jump into emotional high drive. India has enough Coal for next 50 years. That's a along time and in 50 years the Energy landscape may change. If you have done enough research, you will see that all experts are pointing to a trend for Distributed Power Generation with Smart Load-Balanced Grids. Do you know that more than 25% of the electricity is lost in Distribution. Do you know how expensive is to have Distributed Nuclear Power Plants. And by the way, don't give the example of France. France doesn't have 200 Million Muslims living in their country, or Al-Quida camping out near their borders.
Fast-breeder reactors are expensive and use molten metals to remove the heat. The Kalpakkam fast breeder will use liquid sodium. Sodium is opaque and burns on contact with air or water, designing reactors and their maintenance to take these properties into account has made them costly to build and maintain. It also makes them susceptible to serious fires and long shutdowns - the French Superphenix reactor operated for less than one year during the first 10 years after it was commissioned. Large fast-breeder reactors have a positive sodium void co-efficient. What this means is that, if for some reason the sodium were to heat up and vapourise, then it would increase the reactivity of the core of the reactor. If the operating system failed to insert control rods fast enough, the increased reactivity would, in turn, heat up the sodium further; this chain could ultimately cause a fuel meltdown into a supercritical configuration and will result in nuclear explosion. The fuel plutonium is about 30,000 times more radioactive than uranium-235 and this requires precautions during the costly fabrication of fuel.
TN is a state where British planted the fake Aryan invasion theory and the christians in planted the fake story of St. Thomas. During Tsunami, the Fast breeder site was flooded and damaged. The DAE argues that we need breeder reactors because uranium is not sufficient. While the Uranium is less is a fact, the necessity for breeders is a wrong decision and could turn TN in to a Chernoby of the future. In Germany, near the town of Kalkar an amusement park was constructed at an additional cost of $ 30 million after abandoning a fully constructed commercial fast-breeder reactor at a cost of over $ 5000 million, in 1991 due to safety concerns.United States is the first country to build a breeder reactor. In the late 1970s, but it stopped the programme. France and the UK had large breeder programmes but have no plans for it now. Japan has not restarted the Monju reactor that was shut down after a sodium fire in December 1995. Among countries that have constructed breeders, Russia is isolated in supporting further development. But the fools in our DAE headed by Kakkodkar is constructing 500 MW Fast-Breeder Reactor to be followed by many more as our politicians are just idiots..
If India could build Thorium plant then why are we waiting to build one? Why did we go to USA to negotiate nuclear deal in the first place. That was the approach of both UPA and NDA govt. What alternative Leftist traitors have? To negotiate deal with China who are ready to grab Indian territory in Northern sector. Are those people going to give us "good" nuclear deal? Have high hope!
The bottom line reason for Chernobyl accident and in Russia and Three Mile accident in USA is that there were no senior and experienced Engineers present to take corrective action when the initial signs were seen. Like our Indian Army, IAS Cadre, the Atomic Energy is also facing a shortage of very good Engineers and Scientists because of the very low salaries of ClassI service. Going ahead with a nuclear power programme is inviting a major disaster like Chernobyl in India. Nuclear power is also five times costly than convensional power. Added to this the nuclear waste disposal and disposal of the entire plant cost more money than one can imagine. Recently in USA one nuclear plant was shut down due to lack of water supply. All nuclear plants require abundant supply of water. Even our nuclear plant coming up in TN is getting water by desalination and is not cost effective. Another major aspect is that all nuclear plants are susceptible to terrorist attacks and cannot be stopped if two groups of suicide bombers attack the plant at the same time. With the higher efficienties of solar power panels, and the new type of sprayon panels solar power is much more cost effective and environmentally friendly
USA has alternative energy sources such as coal and they already have ample nucler power plants which are working at full capacity. All of their homes have ample electricity. Can India boast of that? Does India's nuclear power plant work at full capacity? Do villages have electricity? Does India have any plans for future growth without nuclear energy or are they going to depend on Iranian pileline which goes through hostile territories with unreliable partners such as Pakistan and Iran? France is powered mostly by Nuclear energy and have proved it to be safe. What does India have other than some people only know how to boast and do nothing! WE Indians should do something right for a change and sign the nuclear deal and make progress possible
I have only one question from all those so eager to sign this deal. If Nuclear Energy is such a Bed of Roses - Why USA has not approved any new Nuclear Power Plant on its soil for last 30 years.
Two of our scientists were murdered by CIA. One is Homi Bhabha and the other is Vikram Sarabhai. When Sarabhai was killed by an apparant heart attack I was at Kovalam and talked to the staff of the hotel. Two ladies came out of his room after killing Sarabhai. Homi Bhabha was killed in a planned plane crash, at a place where an earler plane crash had occured and it was planned meticulously. USA and other nations have penetrated our Atomic Energy establishment long ago and the fear of spying was so great that even the Scientists and Engineers who worked on the Pokhran project were not told the actual project details till the bomb was exploded. Presently our top political leaders are with USA. A book written by an ex Finance Minister of WB had said that Manmohan was put in Rao's cabinet due to US pressure. Also Manmohan gave permission to the ISI CIA bank BCCI to operate in India against RAW advice in 1983 while he was RBI GOVERNOR . The present treaty is an one sided one and is like the Indus Water treaty that was perpetual and is anti Indian singed by Nehru without our Parliament approval
I had negotiated and procured Uranium fuel for India when one of the foreign government refused to give us fuel in spite of the written agreement saying that India has not signed the NPT. There is plenty of U in africa which we can procure. We can develop our own mines in NE and AP. Our long term programme is based on Thorium which is converted to U233 in our breeder reactorss and even in CIRUS reactor. USA have not developed the Thorium technology. I was part of India's Pokhraan Project on the development of nuclear weapons, I know what I am talking about. Only the fools will jump in to the offer of USA.
get screwd.sign the deal.
Quoted from the article: "They talked about the possibility of Indo-US relations being impacted if the deal does not go through". That sentence alone conveys US desperation and a mild threat that our relations will be soured if India doesn't sign the Deal. INDIA, PLEASE DON'T SIGN THE DEAL ! And the senators Joseph Biden and John Carry are known for their anti-India agenda. We are better-off without any strings attached to our Nuclear Program.
sign the deal
The treaty should be signed only if it protects India's self interest. India is a mature democracy and must not be coerced into any treaty either by the prospect of rejection by the US Congress or the USG refusing to deal with India at US' dictate. India has the right to think through the treaty in all aspects that would impact the country's future before its is signed.
USA work Like a GLABO MASSI [This is punjabi word,they use For Over claver people]So usa play the game with India,We very very Thank full To Left Parties on This point
I do not think that any treaty can be given an indefinite period for ratification.US senators are asking Indian Govt to ratify the deal so that Bush can seal the deal before relinquishing hisoffice.International treaties do follow certainroad map.If India has got certain reservationsthey should say so and get out of the treaty.It is better ,at times,to buy the technology of the shelf rather than developing it.The discussionin the article is not to analyse merits/demerits of N-Energy but Is US justified in asking India to seal the deal by May.
Time to say NO to Nuclear Energy now. Although I do not agree with Krishna's forum hijacking tactics to get the point across. And I am no Commie to oppose it coz I have some sleazy agenda. But we have to rise above the politics to see the pitfalls of Nuclear Energy. Even if we can make it 99% safe. That 1% chance is scary and costly enough to say NO to it. People will talk about France's Nuclear program, but let me tell you France has swallowed the poison pill due to desperation. They don't have much hydro/solar/bio options. But India shouldn't get so desperate. Technology is moving very fast and viable cheap Energy Options are not very far from reality. By all means we should build Nuclear Weapons - but that we can do without USA's help
It is an intersting thought by Raja. India is a sovereign country and hence has the rights to an independent foreign policy. It is in the same right that India wants to pursue the import of Uranium from the NSG without being a signatory of the NPT. This is practically not possible without US approval. This Nuclear treaty is all about it. India ratifying this treaty will force France, Britain and may be even Australia to get in line. This treaty gives lot's of leeway to India to pursue both Weapon grade enrichment and Power with just the caveat that uranium imported from NSG members cannot be used for Nuclear Weapons Program. US and French reactors are very much needed in India as they have the next gen reactors and whose safety and reliability is second to none. This is not possible without this treaty.
So Anand, you think US being a democratic country has to go throgh their congress to pass the treaty and India having a congress dictatorship does not require to put it throgh the parliament. what a shame on this minority government to puesue its own agenda and not to see what majority people want. hell with....
Who the hell do US senetors think they are.We in Pakistan suffered a lot by so called American friendship.Americas friends have suffered defeat in Pak.American senetors are nobody to dictate or implement their deals forcefully.India is a sovereign state.They should keep in mind.
