Licences for Nuclear Power Plants

The guide is devoted to the nuclear licence as the principal mechanism for linking the legal framework of the regulatory system (i.e. basic legislation plus compulsory regulations) with the responsibilities of the principal parties (regulatory body and applicant/licensee) involved in the regulatory system. It describes the principles of the licensing process, covering the major licensing steps, i.e. site approval, authorization of construction, commissioning, operation and decommissioning.
