NEW DELHI - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said here Friday that Russia will build nuclear reactors and supply fuel and waster disposal to India under the nuclear cooperation pact with New Delhi.
Putin, who is on a one-day visit to India, said that he sees nuclear power generation in India as a promising area of cooperation between Moscow and New Delhi.
"This is one of our major, far-reaching, promising areas of interaction," Putin said.
Easing concerns about safety of the Russian reactors, Putin said: "The new generation of nuclear reactors developed in Russia have been used in several sites in the Russian Federation and are considered among the safest in the world."
