Abstract

The article discusses the introduction of the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, 2025, which aims to replace the Atomic Energy Act of 1962 and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act of 2010. This new legislation will enable private participation in India's nuclear power sector, supporting the country's goal of achieving 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047. A notable aspect of the Bill is the removal of the 'right of recourse' provision, which previously allowed nuclear operators to seek compensation from suppliers for accidents due to defective equipment. The SHANTI Bill is designed to promote research and innovation within the private sector while ensuring stable and clean energy through expanded nuclear deployment. [Extracted from the article]
