Third party liability problems connected with nuclear installations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4055406
The nuclear liability regime was primarily established at the international level before adoption by domestic laws. The principles embodied in several international conventions to govern third party liability for nuclear damage are recalled. The status and scope of application of the conventions are reviewed. Further harmonization in view of their implementation is desirable and more ratifications will facilitate international trade in nuclear materials and equipment. The various international organizations involved in this field have an important role to play as was the case with respect to the elaboration of existing conventions more than a decade ago. (auth)
