Statute overview

About this statute

La responsabilidad civil del explotador de ciertas instalaciones nucleares o radiactivas se determina por las normas legales correspondientes, no por los preceptos de la Ley sobre Energía Nuclear, cuando se trate de daños no nucleares o de daños nucleares no indemnizables. If nuclear substances are sent from another country to nuclear facilities in Spain, the operator(s) they are assigned to are liable for damages from accidents in Spain before the substances reach their destination, starting when they take charge of them. The exempt operator is only treated as released from its duty toward third parties if there is a substitution agreement in one of the specified formal documents and the Article 15 condition is met. Regula cuándo se considera cierto el pacto de sustitución de responsabilidad y desde cuándo asume o cesa la responsabilidad del transportista de sustancias nucleares. The substitute operator status starts on the date the parties agree, recorded before a notary, and lasts for the period they तयermine, subject to Article 50 and its conditions.
