What is the 2008 Indo-US Nuclear Deal?
A historic agreement between India and the US to cooperate in civil nuclear energy.

What were the conditions?
India agreed to separate its civil and military nuclear facilities and place civilian ones under IAEA safeguards.

India’s Nuclear Capacity:
India currently has 19 operational reactors with plans for more, contributing 3.1% of its electricity.
