39 Essex Chambers’ Barrister Stephen Tromans KC Co-authors “Nuclear Law” Third Edition

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 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 authors bring both academic and practical experience to bear on this multi-faceted topic.
