The Price-Anderson Act Amendments Act of 1986 amend the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 to improve the procedures for compensating the victims of accidents involving nuclear materials by DOE contractors or Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensees. The purpose is to establish a mechanism that will be comprehensive, equitable, reliable, and efficient. The amount of financial protection required is the amount of liability insurance available from private sources, although the NRC may establish criteria for a lesser amount. The bill outlines new procedures for indemnifying contractors and prohibits punitive damages beyond the established liability.
