| The Russian company Atomenergoprom says the first batch of uranium pellets has been delivered to India as part of an international fuel supply deal. The Russian civil nuclear industry company said in a statement that as per the long-term fuel agreement between India and Russia, a large batch of uranium dioxide pellets were sent to the Nuclear Fuel Complex in the Indian city of Hyderabad, the Press Trust of India said Friday. "Thirty metric tons of pellets have been delivered to Hyderabad-based Nuclear Fuel Complex for the production of fuel for 'Rajasthan' NPP," Atomenergoprom said of the nuclear power plant delivery. The TVEL Corporation in Russia reached the $700 million fuel supply agreement with India's Department of Atomic Energy in February. The uranium pellets being supplied by the Russian company will be used by India to fuel pressurized heavy water reactors, the Press Trust said. |
