American and Indian corporates upset by the provisions of India’s civil nuclear liability law should take a deep breath and think of two words: Bhopal and BP.

The only country to have a stricter law is Austria. But then Austria has no nuclear industry and its legislature has actually banned nuclear power as a source of energy.
