Sumario: | 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.
