About this statute

This law approves the Convention on the Prompt Notification of Nuclear Accidents. This article says the Convention applies to certain accidents involving State Party facilities or activities, and also to persons or legal entities under a State Party’s jurisdiction or control, when radioactive material may be released and the release may cross borders. If a nuclear accident covered by Article 1 occurs, the State Party must immediately notify affected States and the IAEA, and promptly provide available relevant information. Los Estados Parte pueden hacer notificaciones sobre accidentes nucleares distintos de los del artículo 1o, con el fin de reducir al mínimo las consecuencias radiológicas. El Organismo debe informar inmediatamente ciertas notificaciones recibidas y suministrar prontamente información recibida cuando la soliciten Estados Parte, Estados Miembros u organizaciones internacionales pertinentes.
