1. Which insurance are needed to operate a nuclear site? 2. Worldwide overview of limits 3. Impact on the Nuclear Operators Liability 4. Where is the insurance capacity coming from 5. What capacity is available 6. Conclusions

1.Which insurance are needed to operate


Compulsory cover in most countries is the Nuclear Third Party liability
Liability is limited by both international conventions and by national legislation, so that beyond the limit (normally covered by insurance) the state can accept responsibility as insurer of last resort, as in all other aspects of industrial society.

Which insurance are needed to operate


Treaties such as:
The Paris Convention (1960/1968) & Brussels supplementary convention (1963) The Vienna Treaty ( 1963 /1977) Joint Protocol (1988) Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage (CSC). Not yet in force. The Price Anderson Act - the world's first comprehensive nuclear liability law - 1957

Insurance market versus revised conventions

Insufficient private insurance market capacity Unwillingness to cover extended periods Unwillingness to cover all the categories Nuclear Pools not able/willing to offer a full solution European Nuclear Operators opted for the mutualisation of their risks

Alternative solution ?

A mutual insurance company belonging to the nuclear operators within Europe The operators want to take their responsability and provide/comply with the conventions Keep control over the funds to be sure they are available in case of need Act as an independent organisation but mutualize the risks

4. Where is the insurance capacity coming from


Insurance & Re-Insurance market Worldwide Most of the nuclear countries have brought together local capacity on a country by country basis Creation of Nuclear Insurance pools since 1956 Alternative capacity from Mutuals formed by the industry
