Nuclear Laws and the Role of Opposition in India
• The Indian Parliament is set to consider the amendment of the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Act (CLNDA), 2010, and the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), 1962.
• The proposed amendments aim to address liability on equipment suppliers and permit private parties in nuclear energy.
• The proposed amendments have been a contentious issue in the past, with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government intending to introduce it during the monsoon session.
• The amendments aim to address the liability on the suppliers of equipment and permit private parties in the field of nuclear energy.
• The history of the proposed amendments is tumultuous, with the Congress arguing it undermines accountability of suppliers, raises domestic risk, and protects equipment suppliers.
• The government has dismissed claims that the proposed law was timed with a visit by President Barack Obama.
• The central issue is whether the Congress will take a studied stance on the proposed legislation.
• The contribution of energy from nuclear power is estimated to be slightly over 3% of the total power generation.
• The Opposition has previously taken an about-turn on key issues, including the Patents Act, 1970, insurance law, and the ratification of the exchange of enclaves with Bangladesh under the Land Border Agreement.
• The current issues have long-term implications, and a well-rounded discussion is needed that considers all factors around nuclear energy, the shift towards small modular reactors, the disposal of nuclear waste, and allied subjects.
Debate Over Nuclear Liability is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
