Details of atomic energy act 2008??????

Answer 1

Many countries have their own national atomic energy acts. India has her own Atomic Energy Act too. In the absence of specifics, I shall assume that your question pertains to India's Atomic Energy Act. You can find the full text of the aforementioned act at link No. 1 given below. But the act was enacted in Parliament in 1962, with subsequent amendments in 1986 and 1987 and not in 2008 as mentioned in your question.

However, according to a Times Of India news report titled "UPA ready to amend Atomic Energy Act" dated 20th July, 2008, in a move to blunt the opposition to the nuclear deal, the UPA government is prepared to amend the Atomic Energy Act so as to introduce provisions which would act as a counter to the US Hyde Act, one of the main causes of opposition to the deal from the Left and BJP. You can go through the text of the said news report by following link No. 2.
