A high-level delegation of U.S. officials and nuclear scientists, including representatives from the Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the government's lead nuclear engineering and science laboratory, are on a 10-day visit to India to explore ways of cooperation in the nuclear energy sector.
According to an official release, the aim of the visit is to learn more about the country's nuclear energy community and to identify development opportunities and partnerships that will benefit both countries.
“All advanced nuclear energy nations benefit by understanding each other's nuclear enterprises and collaborating where appropriate,” said John Grossenbacher, INL Director and head of the delegation.
Representatives from INL will interact with leaders and researchers in the government, industry and academia. The delegation will meet representatives of higher education at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai, Department of Atomic Energy, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited and NTPC Limited.
INL represented the Department of Energy during negotiations on the 123 Agreement on civil nuclear energy cooperation.
While in Mumbai, INL will also present a charter to the newly established India Section of the American Nuclear Society.
