Nuclear power will be key source in India, says Bush

Washington: President George W Bush on Wednesday said atomic power would be a key source of electricity in future in India and China and it made a lot of sense to share technology.

Renewable

Addressing a press conference here, he said nuclear energy was a renewable source and did not produce greenhouse gases. "Nuclear power is going to be [an] essential source of future electricity in the U.S. and places like India and China," said Mr. Bush, who on Monday signed into law a bill providing for civil nuclear cooperation between New Delhi and Washington.

Sharing technology

"It makes a lot of sense to share technology that will enable people to feel confident that nuclear plants built are safe," he said, adding it would also enable use of technology to reduce wastes and their toxicity. — PTI
