The premise is so dodgy that its hard to imagine it having anything to do with Gillards recent change of mind over selling us yellowcake. You'd think we'd make a good candidate given we've not signed the NPT but I don't think we can go down the AQ Khan route. It would be a complete repudiation & contradiction of a stance we've maintained for decades. One which got us out of the doghouse.
Can you recall anytime when such a deal was operationalised between any two countries. Literally selling working nukes ?
What usually happens is a base is setup and nuke assets on them are on call whenever and belong to the base commander. Pakistan & the Saudis gets mentioned very often though i think the US would be first in the line there.

Thats the theory and if that does not satisify you then you will have to get your people to allow the US to stock some nukes on your territory. IIANM they have some in Diego Garcia or did. Bear in mind what applies to the Chinese applies to you also and all the other nuke powers barring the US & Russia. Thats the general gist. There's a couple of excellent threads here on nukes that go into more detail.
