Fukui, Yasuhito 

At the time of Russian invasion to Ukraine, attacks to nuclear facility were also happened. And the typical nuclear security event which are not deemed to be covered by A/CCPNM also happed. The affected facility varies widely from nuclear power plants to the research institute. This presentation tried to protect these facilities applying international law such as international humanitarian law etc. i.e. we would like to verify whether there is legal lacunae in these cases. Furthermore, if this kind of event happens in Japan, besides international law, Japanese municipal law system can resolve the kind of armed attacks to nuclear facilities.
