Russia said it has no problems with transferring enrichment and reprocessing technologies (ENR) to India and has set an ambitious target of setting 12-14 nuclear reactors in India
Russia's readiness to finalise reprocessing arrangements with India comes at a time when India and the US are still quibbling over the language of the text of the draft agreement on reprocessing. The stringent US laws on the transfer of ENR technologies led to India and the US in their 123 bilateral agreement to conclude a separate reprocessing pact under which New Delhi will set up a dedicated facility for reprocessing spent fuel under international safeguards.
Moscow is looking to set up six to eight new nuclear reactors at a site allocated in West Bengal besides six reactors it is building at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu under two separate arrangements.
