India and the US have agreed to take their cooperation to a new level even as they hammered out a commercial pact to finally begin implementation of the five-year-old civil nuclear deal, which was stalled over India's nuclear liability law.
Nuclear Power Corporation of India ltd and the Westinghouse Electric Company signed a preliminary commercial contract, but liability issue was not discussed. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Indian Atomic Energy Regulatory Board intend to sign a memorandum of understanding over nuclear safety.
