The Atomic Energy Amendment Act

State-run Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) can now collaborate with other Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) in the nuclear field, with Parliament today passing a bill in this regard after government allayed fears that the step will allow FDI into the sector or enable participation of a private firm in atomic power production.

The Lok Sabha today passed, by voice vote, a bill to amend the Atomic Energy Act to "overcome difficulties encountered in the setting up of new nuclear projects and enhancement of nuclear power generation".
