7-13 The Public Policy Context for Nuclear Liability in Canada
William Leiss & Associates Ltd.
This paper considers the issue of nuclear liability in the context
of Canadian public policy. As outlined in the introduction, this paper
discusses:
-
the four components of risk management for major hazards, as detailed in the case of natural hazards, a scheme which arguably is applicable to major technological hazards as well; and
-
the comprehensive allocation of responsibilities, in the case of natural hazards, between the two senior levels of government and the insurance industry; and
-
the wider structure of multi-faceted federal laws and regulations which establish a risk management framework for nuclear installations and substances; and
-
the place of nuclear liability within the foregoing dimensions.
