This brief discusses India’s Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act (CLNDA), which establishes a liability framework that makes all major participants in a nuclear power project accountable for its safe functioning.

They contend that despite the fervent criticism from some quarters, the CLDNA is a constructive template for civil nuclear liability that could emerge as a new best practice for the global nuclear industry.
