  • Summary

    Small, mobile nuclear technology will power offshore oil gas and rigs, artificial islands and remote strategic areas. Russia has committed to deploying self-contained, low capacity, floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) to meet the burgeoning energy needs of port cities in the Arctic region. Similarly, China is considering using FNPPs to power its outposts in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. Small modular reactors (SMRs) that are placed on board transportable nuclear power plants (TNPPs) are being developed to provide energy for military applications as well, including autonomous and unmanned vehicles. This chapter analyzes three types of TNPPS, their legal status and navigational rights under UNCLOS. It discusses the extent to which the global nuclear liability regime and UNCLOS apply to SMRs and TNPPs, and the different legal avenues that an injured state can seek, including remedies and attachment of liability to states that caused nuclear damage, even where the latter is not a party to any nuclear liability conventions.

  • Cet article présente le régime d’indemnisation des dommages en cas d’accident nucléaire.Ce régime, dit de responsabilité civile nucléaire (RCN), déroge sur plusieurs points auxrègles de droit commun de la responsabilité civile, dans le but de fournir rapidement unecompensation adéquate et équitable aux victimes de dommages causés par un accidentnucléaire. Le régime français de RCN résulte de deux conventions internationalesauxquelles la France a adhéré (Convention de Paris de 1960 et Convention de Bruxelles de1963) ainsi que de la loi du 30 octobre 1968 relative à la responsabilité civile dans ledomaine de l’énergie nucléaire. Ces textes définissent les conditions dans lesquelles laresponsabilité des exploitants nucléaires peut être engagée en cas d’accident nucléaire.Les protocoles de révision des Conventions de Paris et de Bruxelles de 2004, non encoreentrés en vigueur, sont également présentés. Ils permettent d’assurer que des moyensaccrus de réparation soient disponibles pour indemniser un plus grand nombre de victimesd’accidents nucléaires.
