US Senate takes major step on India nuclear deal
Source: Reuters
WASHINGTON, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Thursday approved long-stalled legislation that moves toward opening the door to U.S.-India nuclear cooperation for the first time in three decades. The vote was 85 to 12 after the Republican-controlled Senate defeated a handful of amendments India said would kill the deal. Several more critical approvals are needed before the agreement can take effect but the Senate action moved India a major step closer to being able to purchase U.S. nuclear fuel, reactors and related technology.
