Strengthening of Nuclear Liability Demo

At last but not at least, it is important to mention that this scientific mono- graph presents results of a long-lasting and very fruitful scientific co-operation between the Department of Civil and Commercial Law at the Fac-ulty of Law, Trnava University in Trnava, and the Department of Administrative Law at the Faculty of Law, Charles University in Prague, in the field of nuclear law. As both the Slovak and Czech Republic rank among countries, being in favour of further development of peaceful use of nuclear energy, various legal aspects of these technologies became naturally matter of scientific interest in both countries. Both departments have been very recently involved in advising national legislators concerning preparing proposals of new legislative drafts regulating the field of nuclear liability and compensation. Further, authors of this publication have been very active in this particular field also at international level. Consequently, this publication is to be considered as result of a long-term scientific research, which involved both theoretical and practical aspects. The authors are thankful to the both reviewers: doc. dr. Vasilka Sancin, univ. dipl. prav., from the Department of International Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana, and doc. JUDr. Monika Jurčová, PhD., from the Department of Civil and Commercial Law at the Faculty of Law, Trnava University in Trnava. Both reviewers contributed with their valuable com-ments and remarks to the quality of this publication. This scientific monograph has been prepared as result of the scientific projects VEGA 1/0256/12 “Civil Nuclear Liability Regime – Perspectives and Options for Its Future Development in the Slovak, International and European Law” (Faculty of Law, Trnava University in Trnava) and P06 “Public Law between Europeanization and Globalization” (Faculty of Law, Charles University in Prague).
