Dismissing a top nuclear scientist's contention that Pokharan II was not a complete success, Atomic Energy Commission chief Anil Kakodkar on Friday said the tests in 1998 achieved '100 per cent desired results'.

Speaking at a function organised by the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology in Indore, Kakodkar said, "Pokhran II tests were a complete success and they achieved 100 per cent desired results."

On Wednesday, Defence Research and Development Organisation representative for Pokhran II K Santhanam had said that India should not sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty as the country needed to carry out more tests, since the thermonuclear tests in 1998 had failed to produce the desired results.
