CPI-M Demands Review Of Nuclear Liability Rules

New Delhi, Nov 17: CPI(M) today accused the government of diluting the provisions of liability for foreign suppliers in the implementation rules of the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act and demanded a review by Parliament.

“The rules notified under the Civil Nuclear Liability Act have diluted the provisions of liability for the foreign suppliers,” the CPI(M) Politburo said in a statement here.

It said the right to recourse for the operator to claim damages from the foreign supplier has been limited to the duration of the initial licence period or the product liability period, whichever is longer.

“The initial duration of the licence is normally five years and the product liability period will also be limited,” the CPI(M) said.
