Abstract
This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for 
Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the PETI Committee, 
aims at gaining deeper insights into the legal aspects of cross border nuclear 
safety and cooperation in the European Union. It analyses the legal framework of 
nuclear safety as well as the liability and insurance schemes for nuclear 
accidents. The study examines the current liability and insurance framework and 
formulates possibilities for a further involvement of the EU in the liability 
regime. Specific attention is paid to citizen and NGO involvement in decision-
making concerning nuclear power plants. The study analyses the case law in that 
respect and formulates various recommendations to improve the regime concerning 
cross-border nuclear safety, liability and corporation in the EU.
