General Nuclear deal can still be operationalised, says US WASHINGTON: Notwithstanding the current uncertainty over the Indo-US civil nuclear deal, Washington has asserted that the agreement is ''not dead'' and expressed confidence it could ''still'' be operationalised by the original time frame of 2008. The US will continue to work to meet its commitments under the agreement, the State Department deputy spokesperson, Mr Tom Casey, said but left it to the Indian Government to ''describe their interaction with the IAEA''. There were some ''internal discussions'' on the deal in India, he noted, adding that, ''in terms of the timing of those discussions and the outcomes, frankly, we don't want to interfere in this internal matter of the Indian Government and we'll leave it to them to comment on it''. ''We would hope that India would be able to move forward with this agreement and that we would be able to complete it in 2008, which was in general keeping with the original time frame we had outlined for it,'' Mr Casey said at a briefing. - PTI
