Sibal: without nuclear deal, reactors will stop working

New Delhi: With the Left parties threatening to withdraw support, the government has asserted that the nuclear deal with the U.S. is necessary to end the “nuclear apartheid” and breathe life into reactors working at half their capacity.

“Manifestly, the deal is for uranium, to end the nuclear apartheid, to breathe life into our nuclear reactors, which are working at half their rated capacity since we are denied uranium for not signing the Non-Proliferation Treaty,” Science and Technology Minister and senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said.

“If India does not get uranium quickly, our nuclear plants will soon come to a grinding halt,” Mr. Sibal said in an interview, according to a press release from IndiaNews TV here. -- PTI
