The Nuclear Installations (Prescribed Sites and Transport) Regulations 2018

These Regulations prescribe the sites and transport for which lower liability limits apply under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 (“the Act”). The liability regime imposed by the Act on operators of nuclear sites and disposal sites taking nuclear waste sets the standard liability limit at [euro]1200 million, but allows a lower limit to be set for sites and transport prescribed under section 16(1) of the Act. These Regulations do not apply to excepted matter, which is the subject of separate regulation, the Nuclear Installations (Excepted Matter) Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/920).
