    NEW DELHI: Westinghouse Electric Co is emerging out of bankruptcy and is ready to supply six nuclear reactors to India on schedule, US Energy Secretary Rick Perry said.

    “The Trump administration thinks nuclear energy is very important. It’s important domestically, it’s important internationally. You are going to see us, the US, going forward into our partnerships with various countries, and India is at the top of that list,” he said

    Perry discussed the matter with Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, after which the Indian government said the two countries were engaged in the implementation of the 2008 agreement for cooperation in peaceful use of nuclear energy.

    “In this regard, the two sides reaffirm their strong commitment to early and full implementation of our civil nuclear partnership, including the Westinghouse civil nuclear project at Kovvada,” the oil ministry said.
