#Australia had previously cancelled plans to sell #uranium to #India as it is not a signatory to the #Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (#NPT) but it was the Indo-#US nuclear deal that paved the way for the ban’s lifting.
The move of lifting the ban came despite a parliamentary report on nuclear safety regulation in India emphasising grave nuclear safety concerns and organizational flaws when compared to international norms.

lol, keep scoffing while 3000 tons of Uranium has already landed in one year 2013.

India’s nuclear sector is contested, dogged by continuing safety concerns and is unlikely to develop speedily. India ‘s uranium requirement in 2012 was 937 t U. If Australia supplied 18.2% of that demand11 uranium exports would increase by 171 tonnes, worth $17.6 million.12 Australia’s national export revenue ($315 billion in 2011/12) would grow by an imperceptible 0.006%.
