US-based nuclear equip -ment maker Westing -house Electric Company has announced  that it expects that its participation in the recently concluded nuclear trade mission to India will be the beginning of a long and mutually rewarding relationship...

The Indian Government will soon amend the Atomic Energy Act of 1962 to enable private participation in the civil nuclear programme. Indicating this, a top government official has said that India may consider allowing private players to set up nuclear power plants only after they gain experience through collaborative projects with Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL).

Canada and India are negotiating a comprehensive nuclear deal that will allow the latter to develop civilian nuclear power plants, a spokesperson of the Canadian foreign office has said.
