Indo-Russia pact covers reprocessing of spent fuel

The recent Indo-Russian agreement will facilitate the reprocessing of nuclear fuel by India for atomic power plants built with Russian assistance. This is because Russia has recognised India as an equal partner and a responsible nuclear power, the country will not have to face any constraints.

As with the earlier agreement on the two 1,000 MW units each Kudankulam atomic power plant in Tamil Nadu, the "intent" signed between Russia and India on January 25 during President Vladimir Putin's visit has a provision for a closed fuel cycle, the officials said.

This is in contrast to the Indo-US nuclear deliberations in which the whole agenda, apart from providing economic benefit to US business, restricts India`s indigenously created technologies under the non-proliferation clause.
