The United States Senate, debating a bill to implement the civil nuclear deal with India, on Thursday adopted an amendment that seeks to limit the supply of nuclear fuel commensurate with "reasonable reactor operating requirement".
The amendment, proposed by Democratic Senator Barack Obama and adopted by a voice vote, was one of 18 that are expected to be taken up during the debate.
The amendment said supplies of nuclear fuel reserve to India must be commensurate with reasonable reactor operating requirements.
"It is the policy of the US that any nuclear power reactor fuel reserve provided to the Government of India for use in safeguarded civilian nuclear facilities should be commensurate with reasonable reactor operating requirements," the amendment stated.
