Financial protection against nuclear hazards: thirty years' experience under the Price-Anderson Act

Book ·
OSTI ID:7036063
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the operation of the Price-Anderson Act in the light of the last 10 years' experience and the changes that have occurred during that period both in the law and regulations and in the nuclear and insurance industries, and to provide an independent analysis of various proposals to extend or amend the Act prior to its 1987 expiration. The report does not analyze the impact of the Silkwood v. Kerr McGee Corp. decision. The five chapters cover historical background, financial protection under the Price-Anderson Act and in the absence of the Act, fundamental policy issues, and alternative proposals.
