A deal for building four more nuclear reactors at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu is now cleared by the both sides and is ready for official signatures from Indian and Russian counterparts. It will be signed between India and Russia during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to the country, a senior Kremlin official has said.

Four more nuclear reactors at Kudankulam will enhance its capability to six thousand megawatt from the initially projected 2,000 MW.

How does all these impact the India-US nuclear deal?

Not much, some experts say. India sees the US-India 123 agreement as an official entry to the nuclear club and a precursor to UN Security Council permanent membership. US sees it as a way to sell $100 billion of nuclear reactors to India whether India needs it or not – a lump sum corporate handout to General Electric and Westinghouse. It is also an indirect means of capping Indian nuclear ambition.

India sees $100 billion payment as the fee for legitimizing its nuclear infrastructure. India will continue to develop its Thorium based indigenous reactors and also collaborate with the Russians for building the main Indian reactors for the next several decades.
