| 释义 |
The German Nuclear Reactor Insurance Association ({{lang-de|Deutsche Kernreaktor-Versicherungsgemeinschaft — DKVG}}) is an association of German insurers of the nuclear industry located in Cologne. The German Nuclear Reactor Insurance Association also is involved in the reinsurance industry. HistoryThe first associations of insurers of the nuclear industry in Europe were founded in Sweden and England in 1955. The German Nuclear Reactor Insurance Association was founded shortly thereafter in 1957. Throughout the association's history, it has only once had to pay a claim; the claim amounted to approximately €10,000 to €15,000. Functions and tasksDespite the slight probability of losses resulting from an insured event in the nuclear industry, in the event of an insured event does occur the possibilities for damages are considerable. As such a single insurance company is unable to bear such risk alone. Under German law, the transfer of a nuclear risk of an insurer to a reinsurer is prohibited. In 1998 the Atomic Energy Act established the maximum insurance liability of nuclear insurer at about €2.5 billion; for damages above that cap the Federal Government is liable according to § 34 of the Atomic Energy Act. If the total damage exceeds the stipulated maximum sum of €2.55 billion, the German Federal Government pays the German Nuclear Reactor Insurance Association for the excess losses. The insurance payments include the cost of evacuating people. DKVG and Fukushima I Nuclear Power PlantFukushima I Nuclear Power Plant was insured for some tens of millions of euros with German Nuclear Reactor Insurance Association. Under the terms of the insurance policy, the policyholder was not insured for damage caused by earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Therefore the German Nuclear Reactor Insurance Association had no resulting liability to Tokyo Electric Power Company, the owner of the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, because of Fukushima I nuclear accidents.[1]References1. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20111005211028/http://www.insuranceday.com/insday/viewArticle.htm?id=264196&rss=true Insurance policies which cover damage to reactors and buildings exclude the effects of earthquakes and tsunamis] Atoompool#Duitsland 2 : Insurance industry organizations|Nuclear power |
