Abstract

This Law defines the legal basis and relations settlement principles applying to the utilization of atomic energy, which aim to protect human life, health, property and the environment, to encourage the advancement of nuclear science and technical development and to co-operate in the strengthening of the international regime governing the safe utilization of atomic energy. The basic principles of legal regulation in the field of atomic energy utilization are as follows: (a) to ensure the protection of individuals, the public and the environment from nuclear damage during the use of atomic energy; (b) to ensure that safety conditions predominate during the use of atomic energy; (c) to guarantee the availability of information that does not contain state or official secrets concerning the use of atomic energy; (d) to provide for the participation of the concerned legal and physical persons in discussions of drafts of legislative and other legal acts; and (e) to ensure compensation for nuclear damage. Activities in the sphere of utilization of atomic energy for peaceful purposes shall be subject to mandatory licensing.
