概要 （英文）

Although nuclear power developments show remarkable progress in Asia in recent years, there is no international framework on civil liability for nuclear damages in the area. The lack of the framework could suffocate the victim protection at the time of transborder damages in Asia including Japan, and may suppress the developments of nuclear projects in the area by raising investment risks. Therefore, this paper argues that it is necessary to establish the international framework on civil liability for nuclear damage in Asia in order to secure the compensation for victims and to promote investments to the projects in the area, and that Japan supports to establish the regime by conclusion of Protocol to Amend the 1963 Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage and/or Convention on Supplementary Compemsation for Nuclear Damage also suits national interest of Japan. However, we found significal differences in regulation between the international conventions and Japanese laws.This study illustrates the issues on Japanese nuclear liability laws that arised if Japan should conclude these international conventions and considers its solutions about the following three issues.(1)Differences in definitions of 党nuclear damages媒 between Japanese laws and the conventions.(2)Differences in exemption clause of 党grave natural disaster of an exceptional character媒 between Japanese law and Protocol to Amend the 1963 Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear DamageDifferences in financial security scheme between Japanese laws and the conventions
