New Delhi: Ahead of the US President Barack Obama's visit, sources say, that India is expected to sign a crucial International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) treaty called the Convention on Supplementary Compensation(CSC) for Nuclear Damage.
This will get India access to international funds in case of a nuclear accident, though it also lays out liability norms.
The signing is important, since the US currently has objections to India's domestic Nuclear Liability Law which it feels is too tough on suppliers.
India says its liability law does conform to the CSC but US doesn't think so.
