France and India Define Special Nuclear Relationship

Not much of a surprise.

Considering the American record on nuclear power, the terms over budget and behind schedule come to mind, the negotiations between France and India on nuclear power should come as no surprise.

They will get the job done right, and given the direct involvement of the French government, if the contractors screw up, they won't go running to the government to get their money, as a number of US plants built in India have (IIRC one tied to Enron).

So, Bush's agreement with India probably won't generate a whole bunch of business for US companies, and it makes us less safe too...lovely.
