The civil liability regime and the system of compensation for nuclear damage (part 2)
The international, community and national legal framework had to adapt promptly to changes in the use of nuclear energy and to the increasing transports of radioactive material. In fact, the international community realised very early that it was necessary to harmonise the regulations applicable to the transport of nuclear substances. The safety of radioactive material transport is based on the ...

The transport of radioactive material
The first part of this study is devoted to the regulations on the safe transport of radioactive material. The rules applicable to the transport of radioactive material are analysed, along with their elaboration at the international, Community and French levels. The second part will describe the system of civil liability for nuclear damage and the rules applicable to the compensation of the ...

A heuristic approach to particle flows in complex terrain
A heuristic approach based on emulating the Navier-Stokes equations is proposed for a shorthand description of flows of airborne particle in complex terrain. The exercise is motivated by the need for a simple, computer-inexpensive, yet comprehensive and flexible model to support a software package on nuclear accident consequence assessment, currently in development at IFA-Bucharest. Central to ...

Risk perception in Korea: an application of psychometric paradigm
Korean students rated the risk of 70 hazards and a subset on seven risk characteristics. The results show that two higher order factors - "dread risk" and "unknown risk" - structure the Korean risk perceptions of the 70 hazards. On the dread risk dimension, all six nuclear risks (nuclear power, nuclear war/weapon, nuclear weapon tests, transportation of radioactive materials, ...

Regulatory low dose limits: from science to political correctness?
The setting of regulatory low dose limits has become a topic of central importance for further radiation uses because of its close relationship to: the public acceptance of nuclear power as a safe, inexpensive, reliable, ecologically beneficial, and climatically neutral source of electricity; the use of various highly beneficial medical, industrial and research applications; and the exploding ...
