A month back I wrote this post about how india can be a potential exporter of nuclear energy technology or more easily the exporter of nuclear energy technology professionals. Now that the completion of Indo-US (and Indo-world) nuclear deal is round the corner, it is time the country recognise the opportunity.
1. Big corporate houses should make JVs with Europian and American companies to provide nuclear technologies. Which they have started doing. This news confirms it.
2. Scientists at Atomic Energy Commission of India (AEC), BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Center) and the likes should work with primier engineering institutes to design carriculum and start specialized undergraduate and PG courses.
3. And of course, the govt. should make the task easier for the companies and engineering institutes by making supportive policies, providing adequate funds, helping indian companies deplomatically to clinch deals with western companies.
This may well be another BIG thing for india the future. May be as big as indian IT services industry of today.

Appreciated your views.
I don't know about Indian private sectors capability in this area. Also it has risk involved. Usually Govt comes up with autonomous organisation to speed up the process. This organisation get in touch with institutes and other organisation which have capabilites in some of the relative areas.
It is still far way to know if the technology will be built indegenously or trasferred from some other countries.
Still we have ban for the items used under defence programs from Pokhram 2. Since it is not for defence, lets hope for no bans.
Comparing with IT sector, there may not be as much job as in IT. Also IT idustry do not get core work. But definetly there is something to praise. More employement, More fame etc.
