Abstract

The purpose of this Act is: 1. to phase out the use of nuclear energy for the commercial generation of electricity in a structured manner, and to ensure on-going operation up until the date of discontinuation; 2. to protect life, health and property against the hazards of nuclear energy and the detrimental effects of ionising radiation and to provide compensation for damage and injuries caused by nuclear energy or ionising radiation; 3. to prevent danger to the internal or external security of the Federal Republic of Germany from the application or release of nuclear energy; 4. to enable the Federal Republic of Germany to meet its international obligations in the field of nuclear energy and radiation protection. Article 7 establishes that whoever erects, operates or otherwise holds a stationary installation for the production, treatment, processing or fission of nuclear fuel or the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel or materially alters such installation or its operation, shall require a licence. No further licences will be issued for the construction and operation of installations for the fission of nuclear fuel for the commercial generation of electricity or of facilities for the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel. This shall not apply to material alterations to such installations or the operation thereof. The text consists of 59 articles divided into 6 chapters. Three Annexes are enclosed.
