The international legal unification in the field of use of nuclear energy is the most developed as compared to other energy sectors, and it deals with such important aspects as civil liability for nuclear damage, physical protection of nuclear materials, safe handling of spent nuclear fuel, and prompt reporting of nuclear accidents. Adopted international treaties, to which the Russian Federation is a party, play a significant role in formation of the energy law order. In this regard, the following international treaties should be mentioned: the Convention on Nuclear Safety; the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage of 1963; the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material; the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident; and the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.
