Maritime Carriage of Nuclear Material with special Reference to The Convention relating to Civil Liability in the Field of Maritime Carriage of Nuclear Material

Pomorski prijevoz nuklearnih tvari odvija se već gotovo pola stoljeća i u stalnom je porastu. Opasna priroda tog materijala, kao i mogućnost nastanka nuklearne štete tijekom njegova prijevoza morem, glavni su razlog detaljne pravne regulative tog pitanja. Među mnogo brojnim međunarodnim konvencijama nuklearnog prava posebno se ističe Konvencija o građanskoj odgovornosti za pomorski prijevoz nuklearnog materijala, donesena u Bruxellesu 1971., koja odgovornost usmjerava isključivo prema poduzetniku nuklearnog postrojenja.Maritime carriage of nuclear material has been developing for almost half a century and is constantly growing. The dangerous nature of nuclear material and the possibility of nuclear damage occurring during its transport are the main reasons for detailed law regulation of this matter. Several international nuclear law conventions exist, but special attention must be paid to the Convention Relating to Civil Liability in the Field of Maritime Carriage of Nuclear Material adopted in Brussels in 1971, assigning liability exclusively to the operator of the nuclear installation
