Original sentence: Environmental, consumer and taxpayer watchdog groups, as well as one federal agency, have described the act as a government subsidy to the nuclear power industry and some argue that it removes important legal remedies from the potential victims of nuclear accidents.It protects the Nuclear industry against liability claims arising from nuclear incidents, limits the right of victims to sue for compensation, establishes an insurance collective to cover the first $10 billion in damages, and commits Congress to fund the remaining claims by charging the taxpayer.The act serves as an incentive for private investment in nuclear energy, without which the private nuclear industry likely would not exist
