After two decades of India-U.S. Civil Nuclear Agreement has been finalized now the construction of nuclear reactors in India seems possible. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) officially approved the deal on March 26 2024 granting the responsibility for nuclear reactor development in India to Holtec International. This agreement also known as 10CFR810 allows the American company to design and build nuclear reactors in India. There is Indian connection to this development as Holtec International is led by Krishna P. Singh is originally from Bihar.  Who Is Krishna P. Singh? Krishna P.
