AbstractAbstract
[en] Under this Act, the operator of a nuclear installation is liable for any nuclear incident occurring in such installation or which is caused by nuclear substances in his charge. If an incident is caused by a radioisotope, the person in possession of the radioisotope at the time of the incident is liable therefore. When an incident occurs during transport of nuclear substances, the carrier is liable in three cases only: when such substances are neither despatched to nor originating from installations on Austrian territory; when they are despatched without the written consent of the Austrian operator who is to receive them; and when they are not destined for a nuclear installation. Other provisions of the Act fix liability ceilings, a basis for apportionment of compensation when several victims are involved and the amount of security for coverage of the operators liability. The Act came into force on 1 September 1964. (NEA)

Aux termes de cette Loi, l'exploitant d'une installation nucleaire est responsable de tout accident nucleaire survenu dans cette installation ou cause par des substances nucleaires dont il a la charge. S'il s'agit d'un accident cause par un radioisotope, c'est le detenteur du radioisotope au moment de l'accident qui en est responsable. Lorsque l'accident survient pendant le transport des substances nucleaires, le transporteur n'est responsable que dans trois cas: ces substances ne proviennent ni ne sont destinees a des installations situees en territoire autrichien; l'expedition a ete effectuee sans l'accord ecrit de l'exploitant autrichien a qui sont destinees ces substances; ces substances ne sont pas destinees a une installation nucleaire. D'autres dispositions de la Loi fixent par ailleurs des plafonds de responsabilite, une base de repartition des indemnisations et le montant des garanties destinees a couvrir la responsabilite de l'exploitant. La Loi est entree en vigueur le 1er septembre 1964Primary Subject
