US-INDIA-NUCLEAR 3 LAST

The CRS report says New Delhi has not yet indicated
when it plans to become party to the Convention on
Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage (CSC), which was
promised by India in September 2008.
India's decision to become a party to the convention
is, according to the State Department, "an important step in
ensuring that US nuclear firms can compete on a level playing
field with other international competitors" because many other
countries' nuclear firms "have other liability protections
afforded to them by their governments."
US firms could engage in nuclear trade with India
without the CSC's protections, but would likely be very
reluctant to do so, the report said, adding the convention has
not yet entered into force. PTI
