Liability for nuclear damage caused by flight instrumentalities.

Because of the enormous capacity of nuclear energy, this force is beneficially employed in many different ways. Among these applications, power generation for electricity and propulsion is most important. As the uses of these materials increase, so does the number of transactions, especially among nations. To preserve energy and to save time and money, certain radioactive materials are transported by air and as nuclear activity advances, so will the number of air carriages. To provide for economic and distant space travel, experiments have been undertaken to develop nuclear power propulsion in flight instrumentalities, both in spacecraft and aircraft, in order to overcome the difficulties of chemical fuels. Because of the ultrahazardous nature of the materials and the potential catastrophic damage involved, attention has been given to the question of liability. [...]
