NEW DELHI, March 21 (PTI) - Government is ready to "look into" any genuine and sincere issues the Opposition may raise over the Nuclear Liability Bill which it wants to be passed urgently, failing which the entire atomic power generation programme would be delayed.
Science and Technology Minister Prithviraj Chavan, who is in-charge of Department of Atomic Energy, said the country lacks a law under which compensation could be awarded in the case of a nuclear accident.
This is particularly important considering the fact that India is gearing up for a massive expansion of its nuclear power sector and is in talks with US, Russia and France for setting of their reactors here.
