Australia's uranium deal with India is under scrutiny following the warning of a former chief atomic watchdog that the treaty did not have all the safeguards necessary to prevent India from fuelling its nuclear bombs.
The treaties committee of Parliament was urged to endorse the deal signed by Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott in September before exports of uranium can begin, The Age reported. However, John Carlson, former head of Australia's nuclear safeguards organisation, told the parliament committee that the nuclear weapons programme of India is expanding with complex links to non-government reactors.
