AbstractAbstract
[en] Nuclear third party Liability law constitutes an exception to the general law of tort liability in several respects, notably the channelling of all liability to the nuclear operator even where the operator has not been at fault, and the obligation imposed upon the operator to provide financial security covering its liability. In addition, French law gives priority to compensating personal injuries, fixes the list of radioactively-induced diseases and establishes compensation based on a lump sum payment. The Group examined how these principles could be concretely implemented. It recommended two actions be taken before all else and as soon as possible: the creation of a medical group responsible for ongoing health surveillance apart from any possibility of an accident; and the establishment of a standard compensation agreement which would be prepared in advance and in consultation with interested stakeholders, to allow for compensation to be distributed quickly. Concerning organisational matters, the Group proposed setting up a 'Monitoring Committee' which would bring together all interested parties. The Group also investigated the possibility of setting up a 'One-Stop Shop' which would enable victims to contact one single agency in their quest for compensation for damage suffered, regardless of the source of the compensation funds.
