Dual-use items in the nuclear area (ICS code: 27.120.99 other standards related to nuclear energy)

DECREE of … amending Decree No 376/2016 on dual-use items in the nuclear area; (29 page(s), in Czech), (34 page(s), in English)

The draft Decree generally responds to changes introduced by the amendment to the Atomic Act (Act No 83/2025) in the area of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, in particular closer specification of reporting of activities related to nuclear material and selected items and transfer of nuclear items. The draft thus takes into account amendments to the Act eliminating some of the original obligations in the area of monitoring the movement of dual-use items. In the case of dual-use items in the nuclear area, notification of transfer is no longer required by the Act (§ 11 in conjunction with § 18 of the Act). The draft clarifies and streamlines the list of specific movements of dual-use items in the nuclear area. Another objective of the proposed amendment is to adapt the list of dual-use items in the nuclear area to the newly updated versions of international standards adopted within the international Nuclear Suppliers Group, of which the Czech Republic is a member. These standards (Nuclear Suppliers Group Guidelines) are an essential practical instrument in the area of nuclear non-proliferation where the latest knowledge is taken into account. The draft decree is fully in line with international treaties regulating the area of dual-use items in the nuclear area that have been concluded so far. The draft responds to the updated modification of international standards based on the regime of relevant international treaties, in the field of regulation of the management of dual-use items in the nuclear area.
