MOSCOW: India and Russia are expected to sign a
nuclear deal for the construction of four additional
reactors at Kudankulam nuclear power plant and
expansion of other sites during Russian President
Dmitry Medvedev's three-day visit to New Delhi
beginning Wednesday, a top official has said.
"We plan to sign on Friday an inter-governmental
agreement with India to build another four reactors
for the Kudankulam nuclear power plant, and envisaging
cooperation at new sites," Russian Nuclear Energy
Corporation (RosAtom) CEO Sergei Kiriyenko was quoted
as saying by RIA Novosti.
A spokesman for the Rosatom said Russia and India
could also sign an agreement to supply Russian nuclear
fuel to Indian nuclear power plants. The bilateral
agreement, part of the efforts of two Indian
governments and four ambassadors, was initialled in
February 2008, pending the NSG waiver.
Russia's nuclear power equipment and service export
monopoly Atomstroiexport, has been building two
VVER-1000 MWe light water reactors of the Kudankulam
plant in Tamil Nadu since 2002 under a grandfather
pact signed in 1988 by India with the ex-USSR and
revived in 1998.
Earlier last month Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
indicated Moscow's willingness to provide loans to
India for importing Russian equipment.
