Nuclear Legislation in OECD Countries

This valuable reference work provides comprehensive information on the regulatory and institutional frameworks governing nuclear activities in each OECD country. It is organised on the basis of a standardised format for each country in order to facilitate the search for, and comparison of information. It is a useful tool for students and practitioners who carry out academic research or who are looking for practical information on nuclear legislation. It is presented in loose-leaf format. For each country, one chapter examines the general regulatory regime, including mining, radioactive substances and equipment, nuclear installations, trade in nuclear materials, radiation protection, radioactive waste management, non-proliferation and physical protection, transport, and nuclear third party liability; and another chapter covering the institutional framework including regulatory and supervisory authorities, advisory bodies, and public and semi-public agencies.
