Nuclear Liability Issue Remains Key Challenge as Obama Visits India

http://harvardnsj.com/2010/11/nuclear-liability-issue-remains-key-challenge-as-obama-visits-india/

[snip]

Although access to global nuclear markets normally requires a country to sign and comply with the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the United States successfully spearheaded efforts to grant India, a non-signatory, a rare exemption. The U.S.-India civilian nuclear deal was considered one of the most significant breakthroughs in the bilateral relationship between Washington and New Delhi, and heralded a new phase of U.S.-India relations.

In addition to providing Washington with crucial non-proliferation assurances, passage of the nuclear liability bill remained the crucial last step towards finalizing the agreement. While American firms such as General Electric Co. and Westinghouse Electric Co. were eager to capture their own piece of India’s $150 billion nuclear market, they were hesitant to conduct business in India until New Delhi established a civil nuclear liability regime limiting supplier liability in case of a nuclear accident.


India May Keep Nuclear Law, Won't Shield General Electric as Obama Visits

India is unlikely to alter its nuclear law to shield General Electric Co. and other U.S. equipment suppliers from accident claims, derailing hopes of deals during President Barack Obama’s visit starting Nov. 6.

“There is no question of tweaking or changing the law -- that’s not possible,” Prithviraj Chavan, minister for science and technology, said in an interview yesterday. Rules will be set to define the responsibility of each stakeholder, he said.

The FDA and Fukushima Fallout

The single largest contributor responsible for half of this dose to the American public is from Computed Tomography or CT Scans, whose use has skyrocketed over the past several years. According to a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, as many approximately 29,000 future cancers could be related to CT scans performed in 2007 alone.* FDA has yet to comment on how this may be affecting the health of the American public in every-day life.

Who makes those scanners?
