Russia Trains Indian Nuclear Plant Staff

Indian nuclear power plant personnel have been undergoing training at a neighboring Russian nuclear facility, the Press Trust of India reported Monday. The trainees will staff the Indian nuclear power plant now under construction at Kudankulam (see GSN, Feb. 14, 2003).

In November 2001, Russia began construction of the Indian plant on the basis of a 1988 protocol signed by Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev (Press Trust of India, Feb. 16).
