In the nuclear incident, not only the prevention of accidents but also the swift and reasonable legal measures for the accidents is the most important thing. Nuclear Liability Compensation Act has several problems such as to establish a higher amount of liability of the operator, to establish a higher amount of financial security of the operator. And It has to be reform the article for public funds that shall be made available by that State to compensate nuclear damage that amount is more than 300 million SDRs. In consideration of huge nuclear damage, to set the upper limit of liability is not resonable. And amount of liability insurance for nuclear damage and indemnity agreement of compensation for nuclear damage is very insufficent for effective compensation. Therefore, the nuclear liability compensation act has to be reform in order to establish a higher amount of liability of the operator, establish a higher amount of financial security of the operator. Especially the nuclear liability compensation act enforcement decree that shall amount established be less than 50 billion won must be reformed in order to establish a higher amount of liability of the operator.
