&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Setting aside Russian contentions, the government has decided that the next two reactors in Kudankulam will come under the new civil nuclear liability law, and not be covered by the agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The move, which comes a month before Russian President Vladimir Putin&amp;rsquo;s visit to India, is expected to provoke a major price escalation in the deal, with the Russian side likely to go back to the drawing board and factor in possible costs to the supplier for any probable liability damage.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sources said India was prepared to restart price negotiations if Russia were to decide in this direction.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Moscow had urged New Delhi to recognise Kudankulam 3 and 4 as being grandfathered under the agreement for Kudankulam 1 and 2, and that the inter-governmental agreement of 2008, which firms up plans for setting up four additional reactors, was done before the liability law.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Department of Atomic Energy and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd had agreed with the Russian contention and backed the proposal. The Prime Minister&amp;rsquo;s Office, however, raised questions and sent the matter for detailed legal consideration.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to reliable sources, the legal view made available to the PMO is that the 2010 civil nuclear liability law would have to apply on any future reactor regardless of any technical argument. No contract, as per the legal view, could be inconsistent with the law.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Based on this, the government has decided against making any exception for Russia, given that DAE is in negotiations with several other prospective reactor suppliers. A waiver, sources said, could also open the government up to the charge of distorting the level playing field.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The India-Russia agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2 puts the onus of any liability on the operator and does not provide a provision for recourse to the supplier. However, the new liability law does provide for such recourse, and its recently framed rules require this to be reflected in the contract.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Further, informed sources said, the rules and regulations flowing from the liability law have been notified. Officials said they were now technically in force, after having been tabled in Parliament for 30 session days and extendable by another session in case an amendment were to be moved. With no work possible in the monsoon session, a CPM move to initiate amendments lapsed.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, the parliamentary panel on subordinate legislation did claim that there were inconsistencies between the rules and the Act, particularly in terms of specifying a time period for suppliers to be liable depending on the material in question. Official sources said the recommendations were being examined, but these were not binding on the government.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Setting aside Russian contentions, the government has decided that the next two reactors in Kudankulam will come under the new civil nuclear liability law, and not be covered by the agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The move, which comes a month before Russian President Vladimir Putin&amp;rsquo;s visit to India, is expected to provoke a major price escalation in the deal, with the Russian side likely to go back to the drawing board and factor in possible costs to the supplier for any probable liability damage.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sources said India was prepared to restart price negotiations if Russia were to decide in this direction.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Moscow had urged New Delhi to recognise Kudankulam 3 and 4 as being grandfathered under the agreement for Kudankulam 1 and 2, and that the inter-governmental agreement of 2008, which firms up plans for setting up four additional reactors, was done before the liability law.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Department of Atomic Energy and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd had agreed with the Russian contention and backed the proposal. The Prime Minister&amp;rsquo;s Office, however, raised questions and sent the matter for detailed legal consideration.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to reliable sources, the legal view made available to the PMO is that the 2010 civil nuclear liability law would have to apply on any future reactor regardless of any technical argument. No contract, as per the legal view, could be inconsistent with the law.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Based on this, the government has decided against making any exception for Russia, given that DAE is in negotiations with several other prospective reactor suppliers. A waiver, sources said, could also open the government up to the charge of distorting the level playing field.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The India-Russia agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2 puts the onus of any liability on the operator and does not provide a provision for recourse to the supplier. However, the new liability law does provide for such recourse, and its recently framed rules require this to be reflected in the contract.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Further, informed sources said, the rules and regulations flowing from the liability law have been notified. Officials said they were now technically in force, after having been tabled in Parliament for 30 session days and extendable by another session in case an amendment were to be moved. With no work possible in the monsoon session, a CPM move to initiate amendments lapsed.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, the parliamentary panel on subordinate legislation did claim that there were inconsistencies between the rules and the Act, particularly in terms of specifying a time period for suppliers to be liable depending on the material in question. Official sources said the recommendations were being examined, but these were not binding on the government.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Setting aside Russian contentions, the government has decided that the next two reactors in Kudankulam will come under the new civil nuclear liability law, and not be covered by the agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The move, which comes a month before Russian President Vladimir Putin&amp;rsquo;s visit to India, is expected to provoke a major price escalation in the deal, with the Russian side likely to go back to the drawing board and factor in possible costs to the supplier for any probable liability damage.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sources said India was prepared to restart price negotiations if Russia were to decide in this direction.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Moscow had urged New Delhi to recognise Kudankulam 3 and 4 as being grandfathered under the agreement for Kudankulam 1 and 2, and that the inter-governmental agreement of 2008, which firms up plans for setting up four additional reactors, was done before the liability law.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Department of Atomic Energy and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd had agreed with the Russian contention and backed the proposal. The Prime Minister&amp;rsquo;s Office, however, raised questions and sent the matter for detailed legal consideration.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to reliable sources, the legal view made available to the PMO is that the 2010 civil nuclear liability law would have to apply on any future reactor regardless of any technical argument. No contract, as per the legal view, could be inconsistent with the law.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Based on this, the government has decided against making any exception for Russia, given that DAE is in negotiations with several other prospective reactor suppliers. A waiver, sources said, could also open the government up to the charge of distorting the level playing field.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The India-Russia agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2 puts the onus of any liability on the operator and does not provide a provision for recourse to the supplier. However, the new liability law does provide for such recourse, and its recently framed rules require this to be reflected in the contract.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Further, informed sources said, the rules and regulations flowing from the liability law have been notified. Officials said they were now technically in force, after having been tabled in Parliament for 30 session days and extendable by another session in case an amendment were to be moved. With no work possible in the monsoon session, a CPM move to initiate amendments lapsed.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, the parliamentary panel on subordinate legislation did claim that there were inconsistencies between the rules and the Act, particularly in terms of specifying a time period for suppliers to be liable depending on the material in question. Official sources said the recommendations were being examined, but these were not binding on the government.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Setting aside Russian contentions, the government has decided that the next two reactors in Kudankulam will come under the new civil nuclear liability law, and not be covered by the agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The move, which comes a month before Russian President Vladimir Putin&amp;rsquo;s visit to India, is expected to provoke a major price escalation in the deal, with the Russian side likely to go back to the drawing board and factor in possible costs to the supplier for any probable liability damage.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sources said India was prepared to restart price negotiations if Russia were to decide in this direction.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Moscow had urged New Delhi to recognise Kudankulam 3 and 4 as being grandfathered under the agreement for Kudankulam 1 and 2, and that the inter-governmental agreement of 2008, which firms up plans for setting up four additional reactors, was done before the liability law.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Department of Atomic Energy and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd had agreed with the Russian contention and backed the proposal. The Prime Minister&amp;rsquo;s Office, however, raised questions and sent the matter for detailed legal consideration.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to reliable sources, the legal view made available to the PMO is that the 2010 civil nuclear liability law would have to apply on any future reactor regardless of any technical argument. No contract, as per the legal view, could be inconsistent with the law.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Based on this, the government has decided against making any exception for Russia, given that DAE is in negotiations with several other prospective reactor suppliers. A waiver, sources said, could also open the government up to the charge of distorting the level playing field.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The India-Russia agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2 puts the onus of any liability on the operator and does not provide a provision for recourse to the supplier. However, the new liability law does provide for such recourse, and its recently framed rules require this to be reflected in the contract.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Further, informed sources said, the rules and regulations flowing from the liability law have been notified. Officials said they were now technically in force, after having been tabled in Parliament for 30 session days and extendable by another session in case an amendment were to be moved. With no work possible in the monsoon session, a CPM move to initiate amendments lapsed.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, the parliamentary panel on subordinate legislation did claim that there were inconsistencies between the rules and the Act, particularly in terms of specifying a time period for suppliers to be liable depending on the material in question. Official sources said the recommendations were being examined, but these were not binding on the government.

Rule changed: Kudankulam 3 and 4 reactors to come under n-liability law -Pranab Dhal Samanta

-The Indian Express Setting aside Russian contentions, the government has decided that the next two reactors in Kudankulam will come under the new civil nuclear liability law, and not be covered by the agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2. The move, which comes a month before Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India, is expected to provoke a major price escalation in the deal, with the Russian side likely to go back to the drawing board and factor in possible costs to the supplier for any probable liability damage. Sources said India was prepared to restart price negotiations if Russia were to decide in this direction. Moscow had urged New Delhi to recognise Kudankulam 3 and 4 as being grandfathered under the agreement for Kudankulam 1 and 2, and that the inter-governmental agreement of 2008, which firms up plans for setting up four additional reactors, was done before the liability law. The Department of Atomic Energy and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd had agreed with the Russian contention and backed the proposal. The Prime Minister’s Office, however, raised questions and sent the matter for detailed legal consideration. According to reliable sources, the legal view made available to the PMO is that the 2010 civil nuclear liability law would have to apply on any future reactor regardless of any technical argument. No contract, as per the legal view, could be inconsistent with the law. Based on this, the government has decided against making any exception for Russia, given that DAE is in negotiations with several other prospective reactor suppliers. A waiver, sources said, could also open the government up to the charge of distorting the level playing field. The India-Russia agreement on Kudankulam 1 and 2 puts the onus of any liability on the operator and does not provide a provision for recourse to the supplier. However, the new liability law does provide for such recourse, and its recently framed rules require this to be reflected in the contract. Further, informed sources said, the rules and regulations flowing from the liability law have been notified. Officials said they were now technically in force, after having been tabled in Parliament for 30 session days and extendable by another session in case an amendment were to be moved. With no work possible in the monsoon session, a CPM move to initiate amendments lapsed. However, the parliamentary panel on subordinate legislation did claim that there were inconsistencies between the rules and the Act, particularly in terms of specifying a time period for suppliers to be liable depending on the material in question. Official sources said the recommendations were being examined, but these were not binding on the government.
