The Nuclear Installations Act 1969 (c. 18) is an act of Parliament of the United Kingdom. Its effect was to amend the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 to make it comply with international agreements. The 1969 act was subsequently repealed.
The 1969 act made amendments to the 1965 act in compliance with three International Conventions:[1]
- the International Atomic Energy Agency's Vienna Convention of May 1963
- the Organisation for European Co-operation and Development's Paris Convention of July 1960
- the Organisation for European Co-operation and Development's Brussels Convention of January 1964
The conventions address the liability for third-party damage in the event of a nuclear accident.[1]
