Abstract

In spite of the existence of three methods (provisions, contingent liabilities and insurance), the risk in the financial statements is characterized by a sequential analysis of the probability of occurrence and the estimation of the damage which does not allow the nuclear risks to be dealt with. Indeed, every risk whose probability of occurrence is too uncertain does not appear in accounting. Annual reports of companies concerned by the nuclear risk show that they do not compensate for this lack of accountability by disclosing qualitative information.
