Opposition unites against Nuclear Liabilities Bill Updated - 15/3/2010 - ibnlive.com.
The crucial Nuclear Liabilities Bill is all set to be tabled in Parliament on Monday amidst opposition from the scientists and environmentalists. "When the Prime Minister said we are now on the same dining table as the nuclear powers, he forgot to mention we were being invited not to dine but as the butlers to serve them," said an angry PK Iyengar, who is the former Atomic Energy Commission chairman. CNN-IBN has learnt that the Bill in it’s current form caps the liability of the nuclear plant operator in case of an accident at $64 million, but in case of an award of damages amounting to more than $64 million dollars the government will foot the bill. The award of damages will be determined by a Commission for Nuclear Liability. What worries scientists and environment activists is that the total liability will be limited to $468 million.
