The Russian nuclear fuel company TVEL and the Nuclear Power Corporation of India have signed a $400 million contract for the Russian company to provide fuel for the Kudankulam nucleare plant, currently under construction, officials said yesterday (see GSN, April 30, 2002).

Under the contract, which lasts until 2010, some of the fuel will be provided to India on Russian credit, TVEL said.  As previously agreed, India will not be required to return the spent fuel to Russia, the company said.

The plant’s first reactor is expected to be completed in 2007 (Associated Press/NewIndPress.com, Feb. 14).
