US Energy Secretary Briefs Nuclear Industry Delegation Ahead of India Visit

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright briefed a 20-member delegation of senior American nuclear industry executives ahead of their visit to India to explore cooperation opportunities in the civil nuclear sector. This follows India's enactment of the SHANTI Act in December 2023, which replaced earlier laws and eased liability provisions for suppliers. The delegation, organized by the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum and the Nuclear Energy Institute, aims to engage with Indian government and private sector leaders, including exploring projects like small modular reactors and sites allotted under the 2008 India-US civil nuclear agreement.
