Protocol to Amend the 1963 Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage

The definition of nuclear damage is crucial for consideration of th achievements of the revision of 1963 Vienna Convention. The Protocol amending the 1963 Vienna Convention contains a rather detailed definition of nuclear damage, which embraces almost all possible types of damage. However, the different legal traditions os states negotiated the new Protocol, determindd the final result, providing flexibility which is particularly evident in respect to pure economic loss not related to the impairment of the environment. The particular problem lies in the standard of reasonableness of the measures which aim to reinstate the impaired environment, and which must be decided by competent court applying its own law. Therefore, the reasonableness shall, to a great extent, depend on the ecological standards established by the law of the competent court. On the other hand, the admissibility of claims for compensation of pure economic loss not related to the impairment of the environment is entirely left to the general provisions of civil law of the competent court.
