The nuclear regulatory body needs to be created or expanded, with respon­sibility for defining all safety, safeguards and security requirements accord­ing to codes and standards and ensuring that they are met. The regulator will have a relevant role during the licensing process of a new NPP.

Assistance in developing human resources may be provided by the regu­latory body in the country of origin of the supplier or other regulatory bodies, and complemented by the IAEA and other international organizations.
