IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency Introductions; Objectives and Scope of the Course Tr aining course on Authorization and Inspection of Uranium Mining and Milling Activities

IAEA Background Increasing interest in the uranium mining cycle globally Existing laws, regulations, human resources skills and technical services are not responsive to regulate the uranium industry The regulatory infrastructures, in regard to the uranium mining control, not adequate Lack of sufficient trained regulators to conduct licensing and inspection for uranium mining activities Regulatory bodies do not have the appropriate equipment and the required knowledge to use them for inspections 2

IAEA 3 OBJECTIVE of the COURSE To assist IAEA Member States to establish or improve their regulatory control on uranium mining and milling activities, to implement the requirements and the guidelines of the IAEA Safety Standards and thereby to: Provide guidelines and train the regulators of the Member States on authorization, review & assessment and inspection of uranium mining and milling activities To ensure the safety of workers, public and the environment
