* Agreement will allow India to reprocess spent nuclear fuel from the US
By Iftikhar Gilani
NEW DELHI: India and the US have completed negotiations on the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel agreement – an important step towards putting into operation a civil nuclear deal between the two countries.
The agreement would allow India to reprocess spent nuclear fuel from the US. A statement by the Indian External Affairs Ministry said on Monday the negotiations on “arrangement procedures” for reprocessing US-obliged spent nuclear fuel, which began in July 2009, concluded earlier this month in New Delhi.
US Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer earlier said on Monday that the pact was ready for signatures. The US envoy described the pact as “an important step and part of the great, win-win narrative of the US-India global partnership”. “These arrangements will help open the door for US firms in India ... [create] thousands of jobs ... the US and India are one step closer to ensuring greater access to clean and affordable energy and electricity for all Indians,” he said.
