Ready to sign deal for 4 more reactors at Koodankulam
MOSCOW: Russia will strongly support India on the lifting of nuclear cooperation curbs in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), and will not wait for an NSG waiver to sign an accord with India for building four additional reactors at the Koodankulam power plant, India's special envoy Shyam Saran said: "We can certainly sign an inter-governmental agreement with Russia before negotiating deals with the NSG [Nuclear Suppliers Group] and the IAEA," the special envoy told The Hindu here on Tuesday after meeting Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. http://www.hindu.com/2007/08/15/stories/2007081561711600.htm
