Description
In order to prevent nuclear accidents, the lessons learnt from the Chernobyl catastrophe have shown the need to strengthen international obligations in this field. The adoption of the Conventions on Early Notification and Assistance in case of Emergency in 1986 is a first step in this direction. Also, further efforts should be made concerning public information, harmonization of safety standards and radiation protection as well as compensation for transfrontier damage (NEA)
