KIEV, Sept. 1 – The Ministry of Energy and the Coal Industry has drawn up and published on its Web site a draft of the Nuclear Code of Ukraine.

According to the explanatory memorandum, the code is designed to systematize the legal standards that regulate the nuclear industry.

Adoption of the document, in particular, will promote the creation of the legal grounds for the unhampered development of nuclear technologies and their safe use, and will also bring Ukrainian legislation in the nuclear sector into line with the standards of EU legislation.
