The agency’s integrated nuclear infrastructure review (INIR) was carried out at the invitation of the government of Uzbekistan.
The team added that Uzbekistan has made significant progress in nuclear power project development and taken steps to improve its legal and regulatory framework and strengthen the regulatory body.
However, it called on Uzbekistan to adhere to international legal instruments to which it is not yet a party, such as the Convention on Nuclear Safety, the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident and the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage and its Protocol. The government should ensure a consistent and complete legal framework for nuclear safety and security by consolidating and strengthening legislation.
