Dr. Srikumar Banerjee, India’s topmost atomic energy official, said in Vienna, Austria this week that Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd is “ready to offer Indian PHWRs of 220 MWe or 540 MWe for export.” Banerjee claims that Indian industry is also “on the way” to becoming a competitive supplier of special steels, large size forgings, control instruments, software and other nuclear components and services on the global market.
In the past there has been talk of countries such as Kazakhstan, which don’t need 1000 MW stations and already have plenty of Uranium, using technology from India.
Western aspirants to do business in India’s nuclear ecosystem should be cognizant of the two way nature of India’s business opportunity.
