Study on Legal Issues Related to the Impact of Nuclear Pollution on the Marine Environment and Compensation

Abstract

Ocean plays a more and more important role in the development of human society. Marine environment protection has become a vital topic when it comes to the ocean exploration and utilization. With the constant development of nuclear power and widespread application of nuclear technology, the nuclear waste discharged from coastal nuclear power plants and marine nuclear power plants, and nuclear leakage caused by nuclear accidents have caused great damage to the marine environment and even human society, and its impact can last for hundreds of years, even thousands of years, or even longer. Therefore, most of countries have taken marine nuclear pollution prevention and control as an important task facing mankind. China, as one of the countries with the longest coastline and its people’s life is closely related to ocean, should pay more attention to marine nuclear pollution.
