Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Radiological (NBCR)

The Talbot AIG NBCR product has been designed to respond to the multitude of threats posed by opportunistic use of nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological agents.

It was the first in the market to include third party liability cover, as well as cover for property damage and business interruption.

NBCR perils are considered to have significant ‘footprints’ in respect of the damage and disruption an attack could cause, especially in built-up, metropolitan areas. Research conducted by blast modelling experts has shown NBCR materials have the potential to spread significant distances:

Potential terrorist devices

Potential contamination distance from point of attack

10kt improvised nuclear device

20.30km

15kg Sarin gas device dispersal

11.27km

 

Cover

Through the Talbot-led NBCR consortium we have the capacity to provide up to $50 million in cover, including:

  • Property damage
  • Business interruption
  • Third party liability
  •  Costs of decontamination / clean up
