This assumed the export of Australian uranium would be part of the international nuclear safeguards regime supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency within the United Nations system. What has changed after five decades of denying the export of Australian uranium to India? The origin of India’s atomic weapons capacity was solely at the feet of Canada, a country which should have known better. This is preserved for use in its atomic weapons stockpile whereas foreign sources of uranium are used for peaceful purposes. Contributing to India’s development of weapons-grade material outside the IAEA safeguards is turning a blind eye to the point of having safeguards at all.
