New York:
When the US and India signed the nuclear deal in 2008, it was heralded
as a new era in post-Cold war ties and US companies hoped to reap a
bonanza in reactor sales. They have been snagged by Manmohan Singh‘s
government but US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confirmed on
Wednesday that Westinghouse Electric Co. has signed a memorandum of
understanding with the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) that
would pave the way for construction of nuclear power plants in Gujarat.
Westinghouse has decided to go ahead with plans for building an AP-1000 nuclear power plant in Gujarat. As the strategic dialogue opened Clinton said that the American company and the Indian state run firm signed a pact on Tuesday to work towards preliminary licensing and site development in Gujarat for construction of new reactors.
