The Parliamentary Environment Committee adopted the Nuclear Regulation Law Proposal, which it discussed as a subcommittee.

The commission convened under the chairmanship of AK Party Trabzon Deputy Muhammet Balta handled the Nuclear Regulation Law Proposal as a secondary commission. Balta, who shared information on the content of the proposal, said that they adopted policies to make the best use of energy resources and to reduce Turkey’s dependence on energy, and that the law proposal was prepared within this framework.

The bidder, AK Party Corum Deputy Oguzhan Kaya, reminded that the Turkish Atomic Energy Agency (TAEK) was established to conduct, organize, support and coordinate scientific, technical and administrative studies on atomic energy. Pointing out that TAEK has carried out very important works, Kaya noted that a new regulation is needed in the field of nuclear energy at the current stage, and the law proposal was prepared in line with this need.
