NEW DELHI: A top nuclear scientist has said that France and Russia will ensure uninterrupted fuel supply to Indian reactors in the event of America snapping nuclear cooperation. Former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission M R Srinivasan said the member countries of the Nuclear Suppliers Group have their own laws and could go by their rules and regulations. "France and Russia have their own rules. They do not require any such stoppage of supply in that contingency," he said when asked what will be the future of nuclear cooperation with India if it conducts a test.
