India, Canada clinch N-deal

Canada and India are negotiating commercial contracts for supply of uranium for Indian nuclear reactors. The restart of nuclear cooperation with Canada has been a long journey for both countries. Therefore it was a pleasant surprise for nuclear watchers here when India and Canada concluded their nuclear deal in virtually record time. The India-US deal still remains unconsummated and it will be a while before all the procedures are completed on the India-Australia front.
Canada has expressed support for India’s membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. The two countries plan to cooperate on building higher capacity nuclear reactors. The two countries will host a nuclear security workshop in India with some 15 countries, the first such meet that India would be organizing with another country.
