India and US Discuss Strengthening Civil Nuclear Cooperation Ahead of IAEA ATLAS Launch
Top officials from India and the US discussed recent developments and ways to strengthen bilateral civil nuclear cooperation during meetings in Washington. The talks, involving Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Ajit Kumar Mohanty and US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, preceded the launch of the IAEA's ATLAS initiative, which explores small modular reactors for powering civilian ships. The discussions also aligned with India's plans to expand its nuclear power capacity to 100 GW by 2047 and increased interest from US firms in the Indian nuclear sector.
