Az atomerőművek üzemidejének meghosszabbítása az Egyesült Államokban és Magyarországon

Abstract

This paper is about the legal regulation of the extension of the operation time of nuclear power plants. In Hungary the most important document in this respect has been the National Energy Strategy analyzed in the paper. In Hungary, the legal regulation of the extension of the time limit of the operation-permit of nuclear power plants is modelled on that of the United States. For this reason, the paper examines the rules in force in the USA on the extension of the operation time. It could be of interest for several European countries considering to extend the operation time of their nuclear power plants.
