India Supplies Nuke Component to the US
Now this is called Full Circle…As India and US struggle to hammer out a civilian nuclear agreement, some heavy water is quietly flowing between the two countries, reports The Times of India.
“For the first time, India exported 4.4 metric tonnes of heavy water to an American firm — Spectra Gases, headquartered in New Jersey with branches in the UK, Germany and Singapore.
“India is the world’s largest heavy water producer and has exported it to other countries. India sold 100 tonnes of heavy water to South Korea in 1996 and 30 tonnes to China in June 2003. An official said India joined the heavy water export club in 1996, two years before its nuclear weapons test in May 1998.
“Spectra, the US heavy water buyer carries out research in areas like fibre optics, medicine, semiconductors and also high purity gases for handling what is known as the equipment market….It imported heavy water from India because of its excellent quality and ‘highest purity’ level.”
