 Ten years ago, the IAEA established the Nuclear Law Institute to help improve nuclear legislation around the world. Setting up comprehensive laws is vital to govern the safe use of nuclear energy and technology. But this requires a special set of knowledge and skill sets. We have created the Nuclear Law Institute ten years ago to create a unique platform for nuclear lawyers from around the world to learn about the various aspects of nuclear law and in particular to learn how to draft national nuclear legislation. Since then, over 550 international lawyers and regulators have completed the unique annual training course. These officials have then returned home to build national legal frameworks that enable the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear energy and ionizing radiation. The Nuclear Law Institute has made a major contribution for our member states in helping to establish national nuclear legal frameworks. These frameworks are essential to help ensure a safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technology. The IAEA set up the Nuclear Law Institute in response to the increasing demand from member states for capacity development in the area of nuclear law, including safety, security, safeguards and civil liability for nuclear damage.
