United States to seek greater clarity on nuclear liability law

U.S. companies, promised contracts for 10,000 MWe of nuclear energy, have felt stymied by the Indian liability law that holds suppliers culpable in the event of a nuclear accident. French and Russian-origin companies, which have also been asked to set up civil nuclear plants in India, have a similar grievance and are also eager to seek clarity on the guidelines of the Bill.

India says it is bound by the domestic law and has bridled at the suggestion of getting the legislation examined by the International Atomic Energy Agency for compatibility with an international law.
