Some LEGAL IMPLICATIONS of some NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS

1, Generally

In order to assess the law's ability or otherwise to provide remedies for the 
consequences of accident-induced or sabotage-induced releases of radioactivity 
from nuclear installations, the lawyer needs first to consider the nature, scale & 
extend of the liabilities which could arise.

The nature of those consequences depends on the type of nuclear installation 
involved Different types of installation contain different mixes of radioactive 
isotopes, with very different half-lives & effects. (Example: scientific controversy 
over the cause of the 1957-58 releases of radioactivity stated in Medvedev's 
"Nuclear Disaster in Urals" arises partly because USSR's biological articles mention 
only strontium-90 & caesium-137; the apparent absence of short-lived isotopes 
may imply that the 100s 1000s of casualties arose from a rupture of the nuclear 
waste storage tanks).
