Nuclear Liability Bill

15 March, 2010

Overview

A Definite Race to the Bottom: The Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill, 2010 protects nuclear industry from the real costs of compensating loss of life, property and environment in the event of a nuclear disaster. In a representation to the Prime Minister on 13th March, ESG argued that this could be part of an overarching strategy to whittle down India's absolute liability regime, a move apparently sponsored by US EPA grants.
