The IAEA, in cooperation with Algeria’s National Nuclear Safety and Security Authority (Autorité Nationale de S?reté et de Sécurité Nucléaires – ANSSN), hosted the first national workshop on nuclear law in Algiers ?since the country enacted its new comprehensive national nuclear law in 2019. ?
The three-day workshop, held from 15 to 17 June, gathered more than 100 participants from various stakeholders. It offered a forum to discuss and foster awareness and understanding of the international nuclear legal instruments related to safety, security, safeguards, and civil liability for nuclear damage as well as the elements of a comprehensive national nuclear legal framework.
The event also focused on the regulatory functions exercised by the regulatory body and the principle of the prime responsibility of the authorised person, triggering rich exchanges among the participants on the practical implementation of the country’s national nuclear legal framework.
