Die USA beenden die Beschränkungen für Indiens Nuklearanlagen

SS:
The USA had placed restrictions on more than 200 Indian entities after India tested nuclear weapons in 1998, but many have been taken off the list over the years as bilateral ties evolved, an Indian official told Reuters, requesting anonymity. It reported that the US Department of Commerce’s list currently includes at least four entities of India’s Department of Atomic Energy, and some Indian nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants.

India’s nuclear liability regime has been a stumbling block for overseas nuclear power plant vendors. India in 2010 passed legislation making nuclear plant operators – and not vendors – primarily liable for any damage caused in the event of an accident up to a certain limit, but an operator could still have legal recourse to the supplier with no upper limit set on supplier liability.
