New Delhi: The largest US nuclear delegation to visit India in five years held talks with senior Indian officials last week, exploring collaborations in research and development (R&D) and advanced nuclear technology, besides offering nuclear power plants in a range of sizes.

The delegation of a dozen people representing the US industry and government, headed by Rita Baranwal, assistant secretary for the office of nuclear energy in the department of energy, was in India on 10-14 February to explore opportunities.

The group was in India under the aegis of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum.

The visit came ahead of US President Donald Trump’s 24-25 February official trip to India next week.

Besides collaborating with India in R&D and advanced nuclear technology, the US has offered nuclear power plants in three sizes—small modular, micro, and bigger plants of at least one gigawatt capacity……

There are a lot of really talented researchers in India and I think we need to continue our discussions and leverage that talent so that as we move forward to deploy advanced nuclear technology reactors we have the technology talent that can assist with deploying and operating those types of nuclear reactors,” she said.

“And when I talk about advanced nuclear technology I mean not only the large gigawatt-size reactors such as Westinghouse AP-1000 but also the SMR (small modular reactor) technology and the even smaller micro reactor.”…….
The US is looking to set up advanced nuclear technology demonstration reactors in the next five-seven years. The new technologies would be for the US market, “but we hope to see them deployed globally and it will be really great to have Indian cooperation early in the process. …. https://www.livemint.com/news/india/nuclear-ties-in-focus-ahead-of-trump-visit-11582049040350.html
