Nuclear destination India

摘要

The lifting of restrictions on civilian nuclear trade with India opens the way for a wave of nuclear plant imports. The government has an ambitious three-stage plan that puts nuclear at the heart of the country's energy policy. If realized they would make India one of the largest new build nuclear markets in the world. Russia is first off the sales mark, followed by France, but the US is lagging behind.rnIndia is beginning to reap the benefits of an end to more than 30-years of restrictions on access to international civilian nuclear markets. Preliminary deals for nuclear reactors are emerging and the first fuel imports arrived in April as France's Areva sent about 60 metric tons of uranium to the Nuclear Fuel Complex at Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh, providing relief to an industry desperately short of fuel. Russia's TVEL is also sending a first cargo of 30 metric tons.
