Continuous increase of the energy prices due to the political changes across the world, fossil fuels that are quite expensive to be manufactured going soon to be extinct, the presence of foreign-source dependency, as well as the environmental effects make it a must to detect alternative energy sources, thus utilizing these sources as productive as possible, in today's world. Cheaper and cleaner energy production, which is one of the fundamental problems of economic and social life, leads countries to reconsider their energy policies. At this point in Turkey, certain concrete steps have been recently taken concerning the nuclear energy policies, which have been tried to be put into practise for about 50 years, and the construction phase was initiated for two nuclear power stations. It is aimed at activating first nuclear power station Akkuyu in 2023.

These concrete developments make it a must to regulate various regulations in terms of liability law and insurance law, as well. Within this context, the international regime concerning the liability law and the Paris Convention, to which Turkey is a party, draw a general frame, and here in this study the manner how the liability area is to be subjected to the insurance is discussed.

TÜRKİYE’NİN NÜKLEER ENERJİ VE SİGORTA SORUNSALI

Öz

    Dünyadaki politik gelişmelere bağlı olarak enerji fiyatlarının sürekli artması, üretimi oldukça pahalı olan fosil yakıtların belirli bir süre sonra bitecek olması, dışa bağımlılığın varlığı ve çevresel etkiler sebebiyle alternatif enerji kaynaklarının tespit edilerek bu kaynaklardan yüksek verimle faydalanılması günümüzde adeta bir zorunluluk haline gelmiştir. Ekonomik ve sosyal hayatın temel sorunları arasında yerini alan daha ucuz ve temiz enerji üretimi, ülkeleri enerji politikalarını yeniden gözden geçirmeye yöneltmektedir. Bu noktada yaklaşık 50 yıldır hayata geçirilmeye çalışan nükleer enerji politikalarına ilişkin yakın geçmişte somut adımlar atılmış ve iki nükleer santralin yapım aşamasına geçilmiştir. 2023 yılında ilk nükleer santralimiz Akkuyunun aktif hale getirilmesi hedeflenmektedir.

    Bahse konu somut gelişmeler, beraberinde hem sorumluluk hukuku hem de sigorta hukuku açısından muhtelif yasal düzenlemelerin yapılmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, sorumluluk hukukuna ilişkin uluslararası rejim ile ülkemizin taraf olduğu Paris Sözleşmesi genel bir çerçeve çizmekle birlikte, sınırları belirlenmiş olan sorumluluk alanının ne şekilde sigortaya dahil edileceği, çalışma genelinde tartışmaya konu edilmiştir.
