• The nuclear legislative framework is governed by a set of laws; • The main one is the Law on Use of Nuclear Energy and
Radiation Safety (Nuclear Law);• The Nuclear Law sets out the main principles for nuclear safety
and radiation protection as in IAEA Safety Fundamentals.• Nuclear law specify the main responsibilities of a regulatory
authority to ensure nuclear and radiation safety.
• Strength – comprehensive nuclear legislation• Opportunities in the framework of RER9096 project – Ukraine
is ready to be host country to exchange experience in the field of nuclear law preparation and improvement
