Explanation

The 2007 Indo-US Nuclear Agreement, commonly known as the 123 Agreement, included a significant provision granting India the 'advance right to reprocess' US-origin safeguarded spent fuel. This was a major concession, as the US typically restricts such rights to prevent proliferation. The agreement also committed the US to help India build a strategic fuel reserve to ensure uninterrupted supply, contradicting the claim that India lacked this right. Furthermore, the deal was structured to ensure it would not 'hinder nor interfere' with India's military nuclear programme, preserving India's strategic autonomy. While the US domestic Hyde Act contained provisions regarding nuclear testing, the bilateral 123 Agreement itself focused on the legal framework for peaceful cooperation and fuel supply security rather than an explicit prohibition on testing within the core text.
