LEGAL DIMENSION OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NUCLEAR DAMAGE

Abstract

Pollution has no limits and its local (national) effects could quickly evolve into regional, continental or worldly effects.

That is why protecting the environment from the aggressive factors must be a concern for each human being on the planet and especially for those who take decisions regarding issues of this field.[3] One of the most dangerous forms of aggression over the living and non-living world is nuclear pollution, an almost perfect aggression, with a multiple and universal character, because all of the components of environment are affected: earth, water, air, life. It is the most perfidious destructive force because it destroys in a slow but certain fashion any form of life.

It is invisible, without color or smell, it doesn’t cause immediate pain and has no established or known limits in time.

Regarding the risks briefly presented earlier, a careful survey is required, but above all, elaborate legal regulations of nuclear power production and utilization, to avoid accidents that can cause serious damage to people and to the environment.

Sometimes nuclear pollution can’t be avoided even though security measures are taken. The danger and also possible nuclear damages caused to the environment, persist. That is why the issue of the legal responsibility for nuclear damages arises, and also the legal responsibility of damage repairs in the field of nuclear power production and employment.
