International requirements of nuclear regulatory body

Nuclear Regulatory Body is a state-run institution which is created by act of parliaments. The main responsibility of this body is to formulate, approve and enforce regulations and rules regarding safety, security and safeguarding nuclear activities within the framework of the main and upstream laws, and to monitor the implementation of these regulations and rules. Nowadays, the establishment of safety and security in nuclear activities, both in national and international levels is essentially dependent on the existence of such an institution. Although the establishment of a state institution lies under the sovereign jurisdiction of states, in terms of significance and sensitivity of nuclear regulatory bodies in regulating of nuclear activities, in both national and international levels, the international community and International Atomic Energy Agency have provided certain requirements concerning the necessity of creation and effective independence of these regulatory bodies, which states logically and legally have to comply with them. After explaining the concept of this organization, the present article examines and evaluates the legal bases of the mentioned requirements and the degree of alignment of the current structure of the country's regulations and nuclear supervision with those requirements
