Responsabilidad civil por daños nucleares: un paso adelante tras la ley 11/2023, de 8 de mayo

Nuclear energy benefits society, but it also entails risks to life, health, and the environment. As a human and risky activity, legislation requires careful consideration. The adoption of preventive measures to achieve maximum safety in the use of nuclear energy does not completely exclude the risks derived from the use of this technology. This necessitates the development of both international and national regulations, aimed not only at preventing harm but also at compensating for the effects that an accident may have caused, respecting the principles of peace, technological safety, physical security, responsibility, and cooperation, in order to provide a legal basis that guarantees the development of a peaceful use of nuclear energy.
