CPM wants changes in N-rules

Claiming that the rules notified by the government for the Civil Nuclear Liability Act have diluted some provisions of the legislation,the CPM has moved amendments to the rules in both the Houses of Parliament.

It is objecting to the rule which limits Indian operators right to claim damages from foreign supplier to the duration of the initial licence period or the product liability period.

All licences issued under the Atomic Energy (Radiation Protection) Rules,2004,are valid for an initial period of five years.

The party wants the right to recourse to be fixed for 30 years.
