Since the second edition of Nuclear Law, there have been many far-reaching developments nationally and in the UK. This third edition contains important new material on issues such as: Fukushima and its implications for the nuclear industry and nuclear safety; the new regime for nuclear liability and insurance; developments in nuclear site licensing; nuclear law in a post-Brexit Britain; the advance of new builds in the UK and the connected legal issues; the ever-more troublesome issue of nuclear security and ongoing developments in waste management. The book also looks ahead to the development of new reactor types and to the proposed far-reaching changes in nuclear and planning law to facilitate this.

As with previous editions, this book provides an account of the law which is not only clear and practical, but is placed in its historical, scientific, political and commercial context. The author has worked in the field of nuclear law since the early 1990s and brings both academic and practical experience to bear on this multi-faceted topic.

The book will be useful both for lawyers in the UK, whether in private practice, in-house, government or regulatory, and for those outside the UK seeking a British perspective on the international law and policy.
