Faced with the proliferation of legislative and regulatory texts governing nuclear energy in Eastern Europe and in light of the interest generated by this phenomenon, the NEA published an Overview of Nuclear Legislation in Central and Eastern Europe (CEES) and the New Independent States (NIS) in 1997, describing both applicable legislation and regulations governing the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and the bodies responsible for their implementation. This study was first updated in 2000. During the following three years, numerous other texts were promulgated, and new international conventions entered into force in the CEEC and the NIS. Thus, a fully revised edition of this overview was published in 2004, which also enlarged its scope.
This study presents the current state of legislation and regulations governing the peaceful uses of nuclear energy in the 11 countries from CEEC and the 12 countries from the NIS: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. It also contains information on the national bodies responsible for the regulation and control of nuclear energy.
