Govt approves Civil Nuclear Cooperation deal with Australia

31 Dec 2015 Evaluate

In order to strengthen the energy security by supporting the expansion of nuclear power in India with the fuel supply arrangements, Union Cabinet has given its approval to the Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement with Australia. The Indo-Australian civil nuclear cooperation agreement was brought into force on November 13 along with the administrative arrangement for implementing the accord.

It is a step toward India achieving international acceptability for its nuclear programme despite not ratifying the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. India, which has nuclear energy contributing just 3 per cent of its electricity generation, will be the first country to buy Australian uranium without being a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. In the year 2012, India and Australia began talks on the Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement after Australia lifted a long-standing ban on selling uranium to energy-starved India. Australia has about 40 per cent of the world’s uranium reserves and exports nearly 7,000 tonnes of yellow cake annually.

Last year, India signed similar agreements with the US and France. The implementation of the civil nuclear cooperation agreement with the US was put back on course when Prime Minister hosted President Obama in New Delhi In January. Civil nuclear cooperation with Russia and France has also been taken forward during the year. On December 22, 2015, during Prime Minister’s visit to Russia, a Joint Programme of Action for Localization of Manufacturing in India for Russian-designed Nuclear Power Plants was signed.

India has less than two dozen small reactors at six sites with a capacity of 4,780 MW, or 2 per cent of its total power capacity. It plans to increase its nuclear capacity to 63,000 MW by 2032 by adding nearly 30 reactors at an estimated cost of $85 billion. At present, India has nuclear energy agreements with 11 countries and imports uranium from France, Russia and Kazakhstan.
