In 2025, the Nuclear Law Institute reached a milestone: more than 800 lawyers, representatives of nuclear regulatory authorities and other officials from IAEA Member States around the world have received training in nuclear law since the Institute’s launch in 2011. 

This year’s session, held from 21 September to 3 October in Vienna, brought together 64 participants from 54 countries, continuing the Institute’s tradition of fostering the exchange of expertise and facilitating international collaboration in the field of nuclear legislation. Participants reflect the nuclear world, coming from countries with long experience with nuclear power, countries considering embarking on a nuclear power programme and countries with limited non-power nuclear applications, including small island nations. 

Aimed at building skills for drafting national nuclear legislation, the Institute’s training addresses the four pillars of nuclear law: nuclear safety, security, safeguards and civil liability for nuclear damage. The participants heard from nuclear law experts, drafted nuclear legislation and applied their knowledge and experience in a complex case study. 

“The Nuclear Law Institute is one of the most important training programmes we have. The NLI is the space to learn, exchange and prepare for the challenges ahead.[…] We will continue delivering the NLI and doing more in training officials in nuclear law” said IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi in his keynote address on the future prospects of nuclear law. 

Special sessions of the Institute offered different perspectives on nuclear law and highlighted interactions with other areas of law, such as the financial aspects of waste management and decommissioning of nuclear installations, synergies between safety and security, the relationship between environmental law and nuclear law, and nuclear trade.

Advanced training now available

Since 2024, the IAEA’s capacity-building programme in nuclear law has expanded to include advanced training courses on nuclear law offered in English, French and Spanish. “The IAEA also plans to offer these advanced courses in the other official languages, while continuing to provide basic training for those new to this highly technical, complex and specialized field,” said Anthony Wetherall, Head of the IAEA’s Nuclear and Treaty Law Section.

From its expert-led sessions to hands-on drafting, participants appreciated this unique journey in nuclear law.

 “As we prepare for the operation of Egypt’s first nuclear power plant at El-Dabaa, the Nuclear Law Institute has been an invaluable resource deepening our understanding of the relevant international legal instruments, and it has provided an excellent platform to exchange experience with IAEA experts and participants from around the world,” said Alam Eldien Sharb from Egypt’s Nuclear Power Plants Authority.

“The Nuclear Law Institute has been instrumental in deepening my understanding of the elements of a comprehensive nuclear legal framework,” said Maurício Cremosi from Amazul S.A. “Brazil is a country with an established nuclear programme and this training provides a valuable opportunity to consider how we can strengthen our legal framework.”

“Participating in the Nuclear Law Institute is a crucial first step to contribute to developing a national legal framework, tailored to our specific needs, that enables the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear applications,” said Piakura Irene Tiraa Passfield from the Crown Law Office in the Cook Islands. “Coming from a small island state without a current nuclear programme, I’m grateful to the learnings from the Institute, as it has not only enabled me to grasp the core elements of nuclear law, but also the many linkages to other areas of priority for the Cook Islands, including environmental law, waste management, transboundary harm and the role of regulatory authorities. We look forward to future cooperation with the IAEA as we look to progress our national nuclear legislation.”

This training was carried out within the framework of the IAEA Legislative Assistance Programme under the interregional technical cooperation project for legislative assistance.
