Title: ●DOE Acquisition Regulation--Nuclear Hazards Indemnity | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking amends the DOE Acquisition Regulation to revise DEAR Clause 952.250-70, Nuclear Hazards Indemnity Agreement (JUN 1996), necessary to conform the clause to the Price Anderson Amendments Act of 2005. The Price-Anderson Act (PAA) resides at section 170 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA). The Price-Anderson Act at section 170(d) indemnifies DOE’s contractors and subcontractors under contracts that involve a risk of public liability for a nuclear incident, as defined in the AEA. The indemnification provides a structure that assures that monies are readily available to remedy damage to the public that may occur as the result of a nuclear incident. The indemnity applies as matter of right, not dependent upon contractual implementation. Currently, DOE has a deviation to the DEAR clause implementing the requirements of the PAA, this rule revises the DEAR to conform to the PAA. |
