India and Pakistan Exchange Lists of Nuclear Installations and Prisoners

India and Pakistan exchanged lists of their nuclear installations and prisoners as per long-standing bilateral agreements. This annual exchange adheres to the 1991 Agreement on the Prohibition of Attack against Nuclear Installations and Facilities (Article II). The lists include details of prisoners in each other's custody, including civilians and fishermen. Such exchanges promote transparency and reduce risks of accidental attacks on nuclear sites. This practice has continued uninterrupted despite bilateral tensions.

NTPC Partners with US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy for Thorium-Based Nuclear Fuel

NTPC is partnering with US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) to advance thorium-based nuclear fuel for India's reactors. This marks a new phase in India-US civil nuclear cooperation, with CCTE being the second US firm in nearly two decades cleared for nuclear tech transfer. The collaboration aligns with the SHANTI Act 2025, permitting private participation in nuclear operations. It positions India as a leader in commercial thorium utilization using existing Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). This avoids costs of new reactor construction.
