The bill repeals the Atomic Energy Act, 1962, and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010. The Shanti Act may well be called the TRUMP Act — The Reactor Use and Management Promise Act,” Ramesh posted on X. The 2010 Act specifies a maximum liability of ₹1,500 crore for a nuclear reactor with thermal power capacity of 10MW or above. The Shanti Bill, according to PRS Legislative Research, specifies a tiered structure, with a liability limit ranging from ₹100 crore to ₹3,000 crore based on power capacity. In the statement of objects and reasons for the Shanti Bill, the BJP-led government said there was a need to provide for a pragmatic civil liability regime for nuclear damage.
