Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010  A Primer for the British Nuclear Industries.This report aims to provide an analysis of the Indian Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act (CLNDA), 2010 (Refer Annex 1) and its impact on the UK nuclear industries. In this context, a visit to UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) meeting held in London in January 2014 helped in getting to understand the concerns of some of the industries. It also revealed that certain gaps existed in the understanding of the act due to lack of clarity. The report studied the areas of concern and what could be done to harmonise the Indian Act with other international liability laws to facilitate nuclear trade as envisaged by Indo-US agreement.
