<![CDATA[The case of radioactive cesium-137 contamination in the modern industrial area of Cikande, Banten poses a serious threat to health and the environment and indicates a legal vacuum. This study aims to analyse the forms of corporate liability outside the nuclear industry based on the provisions of Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH Law) and Law No. 10 of 1997 concerning Nuclear Energy. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative and actual case approach. The results of the study show that even though the cesium-137 contamination did not originate from an official nuclear installation, non-nuclear corporations can still be held criminally liable based on the principle of strict liability in corporate liability theory. This study recommends reformulating the Nuclear Energy Law to cover non-nuclear industrial activities that have the potential to cause radiation hazards and to create relevant legislation that addresses the threat of radioactive contamination to the environment.]]>
