Strategy for upgrading the regulatory framework

AMSSNuR initiated in 2017 the implementation of a strategy to upgrade the regulatory framework necessary for the application of the provisions of Law No. 142-12. In this context, AMSSNuR carried out a comprehensive analysis of the existing framework, the identification of priority texts, the establishment of a Regulatory Framework Upgrade Committee (CCR), and the processes of its operation.

This strategy aims to upgrade the current regulatory framework for the development and/or updating of regulatory texts, covering the main regulatory functions of AMSSNuR, including radiation protection, medical exposure, transport of radioactive materials, radioactive waste management, radiological emergencies, and training in nuclear and radiological safety and security.

Indeed, the regulatory project of nuclear and radiological safety and security is one of the priority obligations enacted by Law No. 142-12, as well as the strategic orientations adopted by the Board of Directors of AMSSNuR. AMSSNuR has developed a comprehensive analysis of the existing system and has adopted a participatory, transparent, and concerted approach that has resulted in:

Unanimous adoption by the CCR of the strategy for upgrading the regulatory framework and the working methodology.

The identification of 18 regulatory texts to be promulgated within a five-year period.

Collaboration with international experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the European Union, and the US Department of Energy.

Ongoing coordination and consultation with the members of the committee through the space dedicated to the CCR on the AMSSNuR website.
