While we did sign civil nuclear cooperation deals with USA and many of its allies, their uranium isn't actually being used too. Cost and restrictions again is the issue.

In July, the state owned firm had bagged another order for NPCIL worth Rs 1,405 crores for the supply of 12 nuclear steam generators.

Valued at Rs 1,405 crore, the order had been won under NPCIL's Fleet Mode procurement programme. It mandated supply of 12 steam generators for India's highest rated indigenously-developed 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) to be set up at four different locations in the country.

BHEL holds the distinction of being the sole Indian company to be associated with all the three stages of the indigenous nuclear power programme of the country and has emerged as the leading partner for NPCIL for over four decades now.

Nearly 75 per cent of PHWR-based nuclear power plants in India are equipped with BHEL-supplied Turbine and Generator sets, and the balance being imported sets.

The company has dedicated infrastructure and skilled manpower to address the special design, manufacturing and testing requirements complying with international codes and standards for various components/equipment of nuclear power plants. It is also geared up to cater to the growing requirements in this area in the future, the release said.
