Gujarat, Andhra chosen as sites for United States nuclear reactors
Days before US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrives In India on her first official visit after taking charge, India is learnt to have firmed up a site each in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh that will be dedicated for the first US nuclear reactors after the nuclear deal.
While this has already been indicated to Washington, sources said, a formal announcement could happen during Clinton’s visit.
