About Nuclear Law: The Law Applying To Nuclear
Product Description This book is a practical guide to the international, EC and UK law applying to the various uses of nuclear energy and radioactive substances. The first edition was produced in 1997, and given the renaissance of interest in nuclear power in the UK and worldwide, this new, updated and much expanded edition is timely. It will cover the law relating to the permitting and operation of nuclear power stations, the decommissioning and clean-up of former nuclear facilities, radiological protection, the management of radioactive waste and spent fuel, liability and insurance, and the security and transport of radioactive materials. Readers will find a clear framework explaining the development and application of nuclear law, and how domestic law is based on and influenced by international and European requirements and by its historical context. In the commercial context, the chapters dealing specifically with new build and with decommissioning will be vital reading. Review “Stephen Tromans' textbook ... is a valuable and authoritative exposition of a most complex and relevant area of law....those who are looking to constructively contribute to the nuclear debate could do no better than to start with reading this textbook. Tromans, the pre-eminent authority on nuclear law, has produced a masterful work which deserves to be both praised and utilised.” ―Aberdeen Student Law Review, Volume 2“This book is a tour de force, and timely too. It is both high level and detailed; witty and sobering; historical and contemporary. It deals with one of today's most pressing issues – the history, development and role of nuclear materials and powerThis work gives an overview of the many interesting themes that form the background to nuclear law, and goes on to grapple with the detailed nuts and bolts of the applicable statutory, regulatory and diplomatic framework.This masterly text addresses the issues in a straightforward and intelligible way...it is an important work that anyone intending to engage meaningfully in one of the most important debates of our times will wish to consult.This is not a dry legal textbook (though it covers the complex law in detail). Nor is it a scientific treatise (though it covers nuclear research from the early explorations of the atom). Nor it is an opus on international relations (although it covers the Treaty on Strategic Arms reduction, and allied matters). Instead, this book pulls these variegated threads together into a comprehensive and comprehensible whole, and makes sense of what is inherently a complex and challenging mosaic.There are serious issues to be addressed. Read this book and you will know why, what the issues are, and be able to enter the debate.” ―Oil, Gas & Energy Law Intelligence“The second edition...offers a comprehensive, detailed, and up-to-date coverage of the policy and legal frameworks applicable to nuclear installations and nuclear substances.The book ... offers the readers a practical guide to the subject matter.This is, indeed, a unique book, written by an eminent practicing lawyer, and a leading expert in the field of Nuclear Law. It will, no doubt, be highly valued by those involved in nuclear policy development, practicing lawyers, regulators, the Civil Society (NGOs), and other stakeholders.” ―Nuclear Future, 6(4)“Stephen Tromans is widely recongised as an environmental law expert, particularly in the fields of energy and natural resources.The book will appeal to a wider group than just lawyers. Like the sector it describes, it is multi-faceted with multiple layers of appeal to numerous professional and nuclear-interest groups.The book is logically structured and provides an extensive overview of the subject, with its intersecting themes carefully illustrated. Given the complexity of the subject, the book is easily navigable, the text clear and accessible. The chapters are clearly defined around broad key themes and then broken down into manageable sectio
