The Price-Anderson Public Liability Action And Strict Liability, Donald E. Jose, Michael A. Garza

ExpressO

Nuclear Power and nuclear weapons plants seem to be an ultrahazardous activity for which strict liability should apply. However, unusual provisions of the Price-Anderson Act serve to shield nuclear power and nuclear weapons plants and associated activities from strict liability unless the federaq agency regulating the activity determins that a special from of strict liability can be applied.
