Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 27, 2010 / Notices
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Costs Allocated to Nuclear Suppliers.
Another purpose of the statute, to ensure that
nuclear suppliers pay the contingent costs for
a covered incident outside the United States
that is not a Price-Anderson incident, is met
primarily by subsections 934(e)
(‘‘Retrospective Risk Pooling Program’’) and
(f) (‘‘Reporting’’). These provisions: (1)
Require participation in a retrospective risk
pooling program to cover contingent costs for
which nuclear suppliers would be
responsible; and (2) authorize the Secretary
to collect information necessary for
developing and implementing the formula to
calculate the deferred payments. For such an
incident outside the United States,
subsection 934(e) requires that nuclear
suppliers that supply certain nuclear
equipment and technology and transport of
nuclear materials contribute to a pool of
money used to reimburse the United States
for its contribution to the international
supplementary fund. In an arrangement
known as retrospective pooling, the
obligation to pay into the pool will be
deferred until the United States’ is called
upon to contribute with respect to an actual
nuclear incident that has occurred. Article
VII.1; 934(e)(1).
The following illustrates the combined
operation of the Convention and section 934
in the case of a covered incident that is not
a Price-Anderson incident. For a covered
incident that takes place in the territory of
another Contracting Party, the responsible
operator (alone or in combination with
available public funds) would provide the
first tier of compensation pursuant to the
national law of the Installation State. If
nuclear damage exceeds the first tier, all
Contracting Parties, including the Installation
State, would contribute to the international
supplementary fund according to the Article
IV formula.
As a Contracting Party, the United States
would contribute an amount determined by
application of the formula in Article IV.
Under section 934, the amount of the
contribution required of the United States
would be funded through payments of
United States nuclear suppliers under the
retrospective risk pooling program. As
previously noted, the formula depends upon
the installed capacity of the Contracting
Parties at the time of the incident and the UN
assessment rate assigned to each State. The
exact amount owed by the United States
would depend upon the number and
generating capacity of the States that
participate in the Convention at the time of
a nuclear incident. For additional
information, the IAEA Web site for the Office
of Legal Affairs contains a calculator that can
be used to run scenarios and estimate the
contribution amount from various States.

a nuclear incident covered by the PAA, at no
additional cost to reactor operators. (The numbers
used in this example were selected to facilitate
understanding of how the mechanism operates, and
do not reflect the actual numbers that would result
from application of the PAA.)
