Russia to aid in building nuclear power plants
Russia President Dmitry Medvedev signed agreements to develop new nuclear plants in India as the countries sought to deepen ties.
Russia will build more reactors at the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu and plants in other parts of the country, the Indian government said.
India signed a nuclear pact with the United States this year, giving New Delhi access to civilian nuclear fuel and technology.
“The agreement on civil nuclear cooperation with Russia marks a new milestone in the history of our cooperation with Russia in the field of nuclear energy,” Premier Manmohan Singh said.
