India: Nuke Test Depends on Consequences

Indian Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Anil Kakodkar tells the Indian Express that whether India tests or not will depend on the consquences:

Asked about the right to conduct nuclear tests, he said, “in terms of consequences, of course, when we decide to do that, we need to factor in possible consequences.”

Seems like a good reason not to give India a clean exemption at the NSG.

Hat tip to MK.
