A long-time American nuclear non-proliferation expert says Australia's decision to export uranium to India may be in breach of the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty. The agreement signed in 1985 and known as the Treaty of Rarotonga, bans the use, testing and possession of nuclear weapons within the borders of the zone.
