Nuclear Law
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) plays a unique role
in the development and implementation of international nuclear law. This chapter
contains a short examination of the regime of nuclear law and its four pillars, namely
safety, security, safeguards and civil liability for nuclear damage. It examines how
we got to where we are and where we can take the global debate, taking into account
current and emerging peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology such
as advanced reactors and nuclear fusion. The chapter also contains an invitation to
all stakeholders in the global community, including international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, industry, academia and civil society, as well as all those
that will be responsible for shaping nuclear law in the future, to let the debate and
dialogue on nuclear law begin.
