The Price-Anderson Act Amendments of 1985 amend the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 to establish a comprehensive, equitable, reliable, and efficient mechanism for full compensation of the public in the event of an accident. The amended Act sets the amount of financial protection required as the amount of liability insurance available from private sources, with power plants having a rated capacity of 100,000 KWe or more required to have the maximum amount available at reasonable cost. The Act also changes the terms of indemnification agreements for activities done under contract to DOE.
