On Saturday, the 6th of September 2008, 34 years of nuclear isolation for India came to an end in the Austrian capital of Vienna. After going into a few extra days of meetings, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) finally agreed to a nuclear waiver for India, thus giving the country “full civil nuclear cooperation” and complete access to the nuclear market.  The move also allows India to resume civil nuclear cooperation with the world despite possessing nuclear weapons.

After getting the NSG waiver, the next stop for the deal is Washington, where it would be put in front of the US Congress. The Indo-US nuclear pact will then be approved or rejected by an up and down vote.
