Larsen & Tourbo (L&T) and Atomstroyexport (ASE) of Russia have signed an MoU
for co-operation for Russian design reactors VVER 1000.
The MoU is expected to address needs for equipment and other services arising
from the agreement signed between India and Russia in 2008, for four additional
reactors KK3-6 at Kudankulam, Tamil Nadu and other Russian reactors at new sites
in India.
As per the agreement, L&T and ASE will co-operate in the construction of
Kudankulam new power units, during construction of plants under the Russian
designs with VVER reactors at new sites in India and also in other countries.
Besides, the agreement will also enable L&T and ASE to utilise indigenous
capabilities for nuclear power plants including supply of equipment and systems,
valves, electrical & instrumentation products and fabrication of structural and
piping and construction for the Russian VVER plants in India and in other global
locations.
