Examination of the controversial nuclear liability bill enters the final lap tomorrow as the Parliamentary panel seeks expert opinion and begins clause-by-clause analysis of the draft legislation.

A two-day sitting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on science and technology, environment and forests is expected to hear the views of experts like former Atomic Energy Commission chairman PK Iyengar, strategist Brahma Chellaney, former diplomat Kanwal Sibal and legal expert Shams Khwaja.

After hearing the experts' view, the Committee will take up clause-by-clause analysis of the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Bill, 2010 which was introduced in the Lok Sabha on May 7 amid stiff opposition.

The committee is expected to submit its report in time for the bill to be taken up for consideration during the month-long Monsoon Session of Parliament beginning July 26.

Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha secretariat has announced extension of the term of the committee till July 27.

The bill is a key piece of legislation required to operationalise the civil nuclear cooperation pacts India has signed with several countries, particularly the US.

Several parties have opposed the bill in its present form contending that the Rs500 crore cap on liability to be paid by the operator of a nuclear plant was too little.
