Overview

• Flowserve received specific U.S. Department of Energy approval under 10 CFR Part 810 to transfer primary coolant pump technology to CORE for civilian use.
• India’s Department of Atomic Energy cleared the partnership in November 2024 after assuring Washington the technology would be used exclusively for peaceful purposes.
• The agreement was formalized in Washington, D.C., in the presence of U.S. Energy Department and Indian Embassy officials, with CORE describing it as a first-of-its-scale clearance for an Indian collaboration.
• Primary coolant pumps are critical to reactor safety, and local manufacturing is intended to strengthen supply chains where India currently has only one domestic vendor.
• The announcement comes during frictions in U.S.–India ties following a 50% U.S. tariff related to Russia, as India highlights 25 operating reactors, eight units under construction, and a 100 GW target by 2047.
