Abstract

This Act lays down: (1) activities related to peaceful uses of atomic energy, involving actual and potential exposures to ionizing radiation emitted by artificial radioactive sources, nuclear materials, ionizing radiation generating devices, radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel; (2) duties of the head of organizational entity dealing with these activities; (3) authorities competent in the area of nuclear safety and radiological protection; (4) principles of liability for nuclear damage; (5) principles of the fulfilment of international obligations, including those within the European Union framework, involving nuclear safety, protection against ionizing radiation, nuclear material safeguards and the control of nuclear technologies. This Act is composed of the following Sections: General provisions (sect. 1); Licences addressing nuclear safety and radiological protection issues (sect. 2); Nuclear safety, radiological protection and health protection of the workers (sect. 3); Ionizing radiation used for medical purposes (sect. 3a); Nuclear facilities (sect. 4); Public information on nuclear facilities (sect. 4a); Nuclear materials and technologies (sect. 5); Ionizing radiation sources (sect. 6); Radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel (sect. 7); Transport of nuclear materials, ionizing radiation sources, and radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel (sect. 8); Import, export and transit of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel (sect. 8a); Supervision and control of compliance with the conditions for nuclear safety and radiological protection (sect. 9); Assessment of national radiological situation (sect. 10); Radiological emergency management (sect. 11); Civil liability for nuclear damage (sect. 12); Activities concerning development of nuclear energy (sect. 12a); The President of the National Atomic Energy Agency (sect. 13); State-owned public utility Radioactive Waste Management Plant (sect. 14); Administrative fines and penal regulations (sect. 15); Transitional, adaptive and final provisions (sect. 16).
