Indian PM Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump have announced their commitment to the full implementation of the India-US civil nuclear co-operation agreement, moving forward with plans to work together to build US-designed nuclear reactors in India through large-scale localisation and possible technology transfer.

It is reported that the move will enable plans to build large US-made reactors and to liaise in the development, deployment and expansion of nuclear power generation using advanced small modular reactors.
