India and the United States have released details of how they intend to share civilian nuclear technology.
The details are part of a deal agreed between the two countries over the last two years. They cover issues like reprocessing rights and fuel reserves.
A statement released by both sides last week described the agreement as a "historic milestone".
The deal guarantees India fuel supplies for its civilian programme, and allows it to reprocess spent fuel.
"The United States will support an Indian effort to develop a strategic reserve of nuclear fuel to guard against any disruption of supply over the lifetime of India's reactors," the text says.
