Philippine Nuclear Liability Act
An Act Governing Civil Liability and Compensation Claims for Nuclear Damage, Repealing for the Purpose Certain Sections of Republic Act No. 5207, Otherwise Known as the Atomic Energy Regulatory and Liability Act of 1968, as Amended
In plain language
The Philippine Nuclear Liability Act creates a modern system that makes the operator of any nuclear plant or material strictly responsible for all damage caused by a nuclear accident, sets a maximum payout of about 300 million SDRs, requires the operator to hold insurance for that amount, and lets the government step in if the insurance is not enough.
