Russia’s Rosatom keen on partnering Indian companies to work on nuclear reactors
New Delhi: Russia’s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corp is interested in partnering Indian companies to work on small- and medium-sized nuclear reactors, according to a top company executive.
Rosatom is already present in India through a partnership with state-run Nuclear Power Corp of India Ltd for the Kudankulam nuclear plant in Tamil Nadu, and is also interested in wind energy and small hydropower projects.
This is in addition to Rosatom’s collaboration interest with Indian firms for large nuclear power plants in the backdrop of India’ strategy to expand its footprint in Africa by exploring supply of small nuclear power reactors to the electricity-starved countries.
