Ottawa, Jan 17: Canada is hoping that its support for allowing India to rejoin the world's nuclear trade will help open the door to a lucrative business in reactors and uranium.

Canada inadvertently helped India develop an atomic bomb by giving it reactor technology in the 1950s and helped India win an exemption from nuclear non-proliferation rules that had banned it for decades from trading in nuclear technology and uranium.

Canadian Trade Minister Stockwell Day is heading to India with three of Canada's largest nuclear-industry companies, hoping to smooth the way for business opportunities in meetings with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Globeandmail. com reported.
