This is a comparative study of the Design Basis Accident Approach in various national legal systems. There is no distinction in the Federal Republic of Germany between design basis accident and a so-called ''severe accident''; therefore the legal effects are the same in both cases. The author compares the methods (deterministic or probabilistic) used in the US, the UK, France and the Federal Republic of Germany to determine the severity of accidents.
