India and Canada have signed an agreement for nuclear energy cooperation, the prime ministers of both countries announce. The agreement comes 36 years after Canada located sanctions on India after it exploded an atomic tool using materials from a Canadian-made nuclear reactor. India maintained that nuclear material or equipment entire to the country would not be used for "any unintended purpose."
"Nuclear material supplied to India will be fully protected in terms of agreement signed with International Atomic Energy Agency. We have fool-proof system of export controls," Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told reporters Sunday in a news conference with his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper after the two leaders signed the conformity.
The agreement makes Canada the ninth civil nuclear energy co-worker for India. further partners include the United States, France, Russia and Kazakhstan. The agreement covers cooperation in areas including design, building and maintenance; the sharing of operating knowledge and decommissioning of nuclear reactors; the supply of uranium; projects in third countries, as well as the nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear waste management.
