Sweden wants in on India's nuclear

NEW DELHI, April 13 (UPI) -- Sweden's ambassador to India, Lars-Olof Lindgren, is leading an industrial delegation to India to discuss nuclear risk management.

Sweden is already a leader in providing nuclear risk-management services and has shown interest in cooperating with India on nuclear power, the Hindustan Times reports.

Swedish companies like Sandvik, Sweco, SKB International AB and Relcon Scandpower AB will join France's Areva and U.S.-based Westinghouse and General Electric Co. on the list of international companies interested in investing in India's nuclear-power industry.

Areva and GE Hitachi will supply nuclear reactors to India, and now the Swedish companies will offer engineering and construction services as well as risk management, nuclear-waste disposal management, and research and development.
