India and Russia are exploring opportunities for collaboration across various domains, with a particular focus on nuclear technologies and scientific research, according to A. E. Likhacheva, CEO of Rosatom, Russia's state-run atomic energy corporation.
During discussions, both countries have emphasized their interest in expanding cooperation beyond traditional nuclear energy projects. This includes exploring joint research endeavors, such as controlled thermonuclear fusion, which holds significant promise for future energy needs.
Likhacheva highlighted the successful cooperation between India and Russia during the construction of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) in Tamil Nadu. This collaboration has laid the groundwork for further engagement in nuclear technology development and application.
Moreover, the partnership extends beyond India's borders, with Indian companies participating in Rosatom's project to build the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant in Bangladesh. This demonstrates the potential for trilateral cooperation in the region.
Rosatom is also keen on sharing its expertise with India in the construction of low-power nuclear plants, reflecting its commitment to advancing nuclear technology globally. Additionally, Russia is offering Indian scientists opportunities to conduct research at its state-of-the-art multi-purpose fast neutron research reactor, MBIR, which is under construction. This facility will provide unparalleled capabilities for medical research, fundamental physics studies, and material science.
Overall, the discussions between India and Russia underscore the depth of their partnership and the potential for collaboration in advancing nuclear science and technology for mutual benefit.
