Uzbekistan to join international nuclear safety agreements
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has signed a decree "On Additional Measures to Improve State Control in the Field of Industrial, Radiation, and Nuclear Safety," outlining plans to join international agreements on nuclear safety, and establish new inspections within the Committee for Industrial, Radiation, and Nuclear Safety.
The decree states that new industrial safety inspections have been formed within the structure of the Committee for Industrial, Radiation, and Nuclear Safety under the Cabinet of Ministers. These include the Navoi, Almalyk, Bekabad, and Railway inspections.
In particular, from July 1, 2025, penalties will be applied to legal entities for violations of industrial safety requirements at hazardous production sites, as well as for breaches of radiation and nuclear safety regulations and requirements related to technical regulation during the operation of amusement park rides.
Additionally, Uzbekistan plans to join the following international agreements: the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage, the Convention on Assistance in the Event of a Nuclear or Radiological Emergency, the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident, and the Convention on Nuclear Safety.
In 2025, it is also expected that draft laws will be developed on "Chemical Safety," "Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities," and "Radioactive Waste Management."
