Do insurers refuse to cover nuclear risk?

Partially true: the risk is managed through special regimes.

Nuclear damage is not treated like a standard industrial policy. In the United States, for example, the Price-Anderson Act creates a specific coverage and compensation system; other countries use nuclear civil liability regimes and international conventions. This does not mean that no coverage exists, but that the risk is insured and limited within particular legal frameworks.
