Russia to build 6-8 nuke units in India`s West Bengal.

MOSCOW, January 21 (Itar-Tass) - Russia will build from six to eight
nuclear power generating units in Haripur in the Indian state of West
Bengal, the head of the state-run atomic energy corporation Rosatom,
Sergei Kiriyenko, said after the Cabinet meeting on Thursday.
"The fist and second power generating units for the Kudamkulam nuclear
power plant are at the final stage. By the end of the year specialists
will commission them," he said.
"The talks with India on Kudamkulam are in progress. We will build
four and, may be, six power generating units there," Kiriyenko said.
The Rosatom chief underlined that India's decision on new construction
site is crucial.
"We've been discussing this site for four years. As a result India's
government has taken a decision and gave us a new construction site in
Haripur. This is another six units as a minimum and eight units as a
maximum," Kiriyenko said.
