Former Atomic Energy Commission Chairman P K Iyengar and former Atomic Energy Regulatory Board Chairman A Gopalakrishnan said the draft text was identical to the IAEA Circular 66 on safeguards to non-weapon states and that it provided no assurance on fuel supply.
A third scientist, former BARC Director A N Prasad, however, said the text is generally all right but there is nothing India-specific.
Gopalakrishnan said although the preamble mentioned about the corrective measures promised by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the floor of the House, the text is not satisfactory.
But Prasad said though corrective measures may not be very clear in the text, they are there without being explicit.
"There is nothing India-specific except that IAEA has not made objection to India's strategic programme," Iyengar said.
