On the Dedicated Reprocessing Facility to be set up by
India as per the 123 Agreement, the sources said a team of
Indian officials is already in the US, ahead of the Prime
Minister's visit, to negotiate "one or two remaining issues".

The two sides are working fast considering that the
negotiations started only in August and were to be completed
in a year thereafter.
The Liabilities Bill has been cleared by the Cabinet
and will be introduced in Parliament soon, the sources said.
India will also provide assurance on non-proliferation
required by the US Energy Department to give licences under
Section 810.
During the talks between Singh and Obama, the two
sides will also sign an MoU on Counter Terrorism Initiative,
under which the scope of cooperation would increase and the US
would be supplying more hi-tech equipment like those used in
locating mobile phones, the sources said.
This equipment would be critical for fight against
terrorism as it will enable security agencies to pin-point the
location of mobile phones that may be used by terrorists. At
present, Indian agencies do not have such capabilities. (MORE)
