Canada Civil Nuclear Deal

Canada has sent the first uranium consignment of 250 tonnes to India for its nuclear power reactors, over two years after the civil nuclear deal signed between the two countries came into force.

India and Canada on Monday signed a landmark civil nuclear deal with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assuring that imported uranium and atomic technology will not be used for "any unintended purpose."

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday ruled out the possibility of nuclear material or equipment supplied to India under civil nuclear cooperation agreements being used for "any unintended purpose."

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is in Toronto for the G20 summit, is expected to sign a civil nuclear deal with Canada later on Sunday when he meets his counterpart Stephen Harper.

India and Canada have agreed to sign a nuclear deal in principle for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The deal is to be ratified by the Canadian parliament.
