Representatives from the US Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory (INL) are visiting India this week to learn more about the country's nuclear energy community and identify nuclear development opportunities and partnerships.

During its 10-day visit, the delegation from INL – the US Government's lead nuclear engineering and science laboratory – will interact with leaders and researchers in Government, industry and academia, a US embassy statement said.

Their visit includes meetings with representatives of higher education at the India Institute of Technology-Bombay, the Department of Atomic Energy and its two nuclear energy laboratories and the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd.

“All advanced nuclear energy nations benefit by understanding each other's nuclear enterprises,” said the INL Director and delegation head, Mr John Grossenbacher.
