Summary of provisions: Parties agree that the operator of a nuclear ship is absolutely liable for any nuclear damage upon proof of the causal link between the damage and a nuclear incident involving the nuclear fuel of, or radioactive products or waste produced in, such ships (art. II). The operator is required to maintain insurance, or other financial security covering his liability for nuclear damage (art. III). He also has a right of recourse in certain conditions, and may be exonerated partially or completely from his liability. Further articles provide for, inter alia, a financial limit to the operator's liability (art. III), prescription (art. V), and joint and several liability (art. VII). Damages which give right to compensation claims are defined in art. XIII. Parties undertake to adopt such measures as are necessary to ensure implementation of the provisions of the Convention (art. XII).
