Following four previous workshops organised in France in 2001, in the Slovak Republic in 2005 and in 2017, and in Portugal in 2019, the Fifth International Workshop on the Indemnification of Damage in the Event of a Nuclear Accident will focus on nuclear liability and insurance issues associated with small modular reactors (SMRs) and other innovative technologies. As interest in SMRs and advanced modular reactors (AMRs) continues to grow, questions are emerging about how liability and insurance frameworks may be applied to these technologies not only on land, but also in the context of floating nuclear power plants, nuclear-powered merchant ships and space nuclear power and propulsion.

The workshop, tentatively scheduled for early 2027, will bring together government officials and regulators, representatives from the nuclear and maritime industries, and the insurance sector, alongside academia, international organisations and non-governmental organisations to examine these issues and identify potential paths forward.

The Fifth International Workshop on the Indemnification of Damage in the Event of a Nuclear Accident is co-organised by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the Government of the United Kingdom.

Registration will be open in due course.
