Ramanaji,
Under the U S Regulations they are required to track the spent fuel of any U S supplied reactor.In India's case this would have been in addtion to the IAEA inspection and monitoring. This clause was not acceptable to the Indian side. Preesident Obama has waiveed this condition through his executive prerogative. Now it is for the U S companies to sell reactors to India or not , on commercial terms.Since France and Russia are eager to sell their product, the U S companies may also undertake aggressive marketing of their product in the Indian market, as its size is quite big. Any order for reactor from USA will obviously generate more employment in that country. We have to wait and see the full implecation of the waiver by the U S Government as the actual sale has to be done by the private companies and not by the Government.
