Second section coverage § 7 cover and standard coverage
In fixing the amount of the financial security (coverage), it is to assume to be fixed for the normally (standard coverage) coverage, provided that the coverage in this section is not directly intended.
§ 8 handling and transport (1) unless resulting from this section otherwise, determined the standard coverage 1 when dealing with fissile materials according to Appendix 1, 2. when dealing with other radioactive substances according to Appendix 2, each according to the approved type, mass, activity or condition of the radioactive substances. The standard coverage when dealing with highly radioactive sources within the meaning of § 3 para 2 No. 29 letter b double letter bb the Radiation Protection Ordinance determines regardless of the nature of the radioactive substance Appendix 2 (2) the handling of other radioactive substances that directed that they be applied in the practice of medicine in humans or that they are in the air, the water , the ground or the vegetation arrive, without that can prevent the further spread, so the standard coverage is two times of the values specified in Appendix 2.
(3) when dealing with radioactive waste in a country collection point or in another facility approved for the disposal of radioactive waste, the standard coverage is EUR 7 million. In another facility approved for the disposal of radioactive waste with radioactive waste deal, which comes from a plant in the meaning of § 7 of the nuclear energy Act, the standard coverage is 70 million euro.
(4) for the carriage of radioactive substances, paragraph 1 applies accordingly; for the carriage of other radioactive substances, the values of Appendix 2 are column 2 to apply.
(5) for the transport and storage of irradiated nuclear fuel are to determine the resulting after the approved mass content of nuclear fuels standard coverage according to Appendix 1 and the standard coverage resulting after the approved total activity separately according to Appendix 2 and to a uniform standard coverage to add up. Free of Appendix 2 of 5 Kilobecquerel for the determination of the total activity.
(6) the amounts should not exceed the sum of EUR 35 million for promotion. An excess is permitted only if the amount is appropriate pursuant to sentence 1 not according to the circumstances of the individual case; in this case, the managing authority can increase the coverage up to a maximum of twice of the amount pursuant to sentence 1. § 16 ABS. 2 finds appropriate application.
(7) in the case of storage, the coverage level must not exceed the amount of EUR 350 million.
§ 9 reactors (1) the standard coverage shall for reactors with a maximum power up to 1 MW megawatt further 5 million euro for each 1 million euro up to 10 megawatts, for each megawatt more 2.5 million euro up to the maximum of EUR 2.5 billion. The standard coverage is however after Appendix 1 to determine if a calculation yields a value higher than the calculation of standard coverage according to this annex on the basis of the approved type and mass of nuclear fuel pursuant to sentence 1. Maximum power is the continuous thermal load with which the reactor due to the approval must be operated. Notwithstanding sentence 1 the coverage shall be at least EUR 25 million for reactors, used for the application of ionizing radiation in medicine.
(2) in the rule amounts to be determined according to paragraph 1 the standard coverage for facilities for the storage of nuclear fuels or radioactive products and waste, intended for personal use or come from the reactor and temporarily stored until further use or disposal, is included, unless the equipment a joint nuclear facility in terms of the Appendix 1 para. 1 No. 2 that last half-sentence, to the Atomic Energy Act form.
(3) the financial security referred to in paragraph 1 to be determined include the cover 1 for storage according to § 6 section 3 or 4 of the nuclear energy Act, or 2 for a corresponding Office on the grounds of a facility for the fission of nuclear fuel for research purposes, unless the plants a joint nuclear facility in terms of the Appendix 1 para. 1 No. 2 last half sentence to the Atomic Energy Act form.
§ 10 ship reactors the standard coverage for reactors, which are used for the propulsion of ships (ship reactors), per megawatt is maximum €500,000, but no more than 200 million euros. § 9 para 1 sentence 2 and 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
§ 11 other nuclear facilities (1) in installations for the production or editing or processing of nuclear fuel the standard coverage is determined by the type and mass of nuclear fuel, which on the basis of the authorization in the system must be dealt with, in accordance with Appendix 1. The coverage shall not exceed the amount of EUR 140 million fuel factories and uranium enrichment facilities. An excess is permitted only if the amount is appropriate pursuant to sentence 1 not according to the circumstances of the individual case; in this case, the managing authority can increase the coverage up to a maximum of twice of the amount pursuant to sentence 1. § 16 ABS. 2 finds appropriate application.
(2) in the case of installations for the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel, the standard coverage for facilities with an approved annual output of irradiated nuclear fuel is up to 50 tons, taking into account article 16 70 million euro.
(3) section 9, paragraph 2 shall apply accordingly.
§ 12 decommissioning of plants will be shut down a facility within the meaning of § 7 of the nuclear energy Act, or otherwise put out of order, the standard coverage determined column 3 in accordance with the still existing in the investment activity according to Appendix 2, if only the activated and contaminated components and radioactive substances for testing purposes are in the system. Insofar as the determination of activity due to the special features of the individual case, not or only at disproportionate time and effort is possible, the administrative authority may reduce the coverage up to five per cent of the insured sum stipulated last before closure or other decommissioning.
Article 13 equipment generating ionising radiation (1) the standard coverage is for equipment generating ionising radiation, whose establishment and operation authorisation needed, EUR 25 million. Notwithstanding sentence 1 1.5 million euros for ion accelerators, which are operated for the Positron Emission Tomography in connection with the practice of medicine, the standard coverage.
(2) only the operation of the plant of a permit is needed, so the standard coverage 1 5 million euros 2. 1.5 million euro, unless the system is applied in the practice of medicine, unless per second more than 10(hoch)8 neutrons are generated, or more than 10 MeV or the final energy of the accelerated ions is the final energy of the accelerated electrons more than 1 MeV per nucleon , 3. 500.000 euro in all other cases.
§ 14 (dropped out) section 15 application of radioactive substances on humans in medical research in the use of radioactive materials or ionizing radiation on humans in medical research must the insured sum in proportion to the risks associated with the application are and on the basis of the risk assessment to be set, that in the event of death or permanent incapacity of any person , applied the radioactive materials or ionizing radiation, at least 500,000 euros available.
§ 16 determination of coverage in the case of (1) the standard coverage is not adequate according to the circumstances of the individual case, as the administrative authority of the coverage in relation to the maximum limit of § 13 para 3 sentence 2 of the Atomic Energy Act may raise or lower up to one third of the standard coverage up to twice the standard coverage.
(2) when determining the coverage level appropriate to the circumstances of the individual case is particularly taken into account, 1. whether and to what extent that possibility or exclude is that persons other than the debtor to the financial security and its employees suffer damage to life, health, body and physical goods, 2. what level of security is achieved by protective measures and protective devices, 3. whether and to what extent taking into account the meteorological and hydrological conditions have the possibility or exclude , that the radioactive substances are spread, especially as which duration of risk especially with regard to the half-life of the radioactive substances to take gases, aerosols or liquids, 4., 5. whether because of the nature, extent or nature of the radioactive substances excluded from damage due to nuclear events as a result of nuclear fission processes under the worst circumstances can be, 6 whether and to what extent in the case of transport, taking into account the means of transport , the transport route, the packaging and the nature of the radioactive substances particularly high or low risks.
Article 17 (dropped out) § 18 coverage at the obligated party to the financial security on the basis of one or more permits involves multiple handling (1) with several substances or with several partial amounts of the substance, is separately set the each eligible insured sum for every activity compulsory for the financial security.
(2) it is to set an overall amount of coverage but, if a such close spatial and temporal context is a multiple use outside a nuclear facility, that the dangerous must be viewed several substances or partial quantities as similar as a single substance, which corresponds to the activity or mass of total activity or total mass of substances or subsets.
(3) in determining the overall amount of coverage is expressed in the multiples of the activity limits, to be enclosed and open other radioactive substances from the total activity. Will deal with materials belonging to two of the groups referred to in sentence 1, the coverage for each group separately identified are to comprise; However a total no higher than the amount of coverage must be on, which would result if the entire fabrics would open other radioactive substances.
(4) paragraphs 1 to 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis for transport.
§ To set 19 round out the coverage level (1) which is coverage to full 50,000 euros.
(2) If an intermediate amount under 25,000 euros, arises from the provisions on the coverage level is way down, the rest is rounded upwards.
Third section concluding provisions § 20 transitional provision complies with the financial security for an activity licensed prior to entry into force of this regulation the requirements of this regulation, the financial security for the next realignment according to § 13 para 1 sentence 2 of the Atomic Energy Act no later than at facilities within the meaning of § 7 of the nuclear energy Act period of six months, to redetermine in other cases within one year after entry into force of this regulation isn't so. For the handling of highly radioactive sources, which at December 31, 2007 or the requirements of § 3 para 2 No. 29 letter b double letter bb of the radiation protection regulation meet, prior to August 19, 2005 has been approved and for which at that time for the first time financial security must be performed, the fixing of financial security is prior to December 31, 2007.
