India submitted the Instrument of Ratification of the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage, 1997 to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the depositary of the said Convention, at Vienna today. Ambassador and Permanent Representative of India, Shri Rajiva Misra handed over the Instrument of Ratification to Acting Director General of IAEA, Juan Carlos Lentijo. The Convention will come into force for India 90 days from the date of deposit of the ratification instrument, i.e. May 4, 2016. This marks a conclusive step in the addressing of issues related to civil nuclear liability in India, marked earlier by the release of FAQs on Civil Nuclear Liability in February 2015 and the launch of the India Nuclear Insurance Pool (INIP) in June 2015.
