Once again fission Nuclear power proves too expensive to insure.     India refuses to buy US reactors unless they come with warrentees from manufacturers that include full liability.   Of course the producers of nuclear plants (eg GE, Westinghouse) don't have to pay for defects in their products in the US per US Federal Law, so why should India want these US companies to be held accountable?
