Establishment of nuclear liability regime in the developing countries. Examples of China and Indonesia

While the nuclear developed countries has been establishing the nuclear liability regime in the form of national law and international treaty, establishment of the nuclear liability regime in the developing countries which try to actively promote nuclear development is desired. In the Asian area in which a large-scale nuclear development is expected in the future, China which has already started nuclear development showed a basic policy of nuclear liability regime in the form of 'reply' instead of establishing a legal framework, and Indonesia which will start a nuclear development in the future has made a high-level legal framework covering nuclear liability regime. To develop nuclear liability regime in the developing countries it is important to give consideration to establishment of national law in each country, increase in amount of liability and international cooperation and linkage in the area.
