Mongolia considers joining number of conventions on nuclear safety.

Mongolia considers joining number of conventions on nuclear safety. Mongolian Parliament at its irregular session is considering a package of laws related to ensuring nuclear safety, the physical protection of nuclear materials and management of used fuel and radioactive wastes. The government considers the accession to the named conventions would help create conditions for using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in conformity with international standards and requirements of nuclear safety. There would also be created legal environment for monitoring the safety of management of radioactive wastes, and for combating nuclear terrorism and crimes, and strengthening international cooperation. In 2011 Mongolia banned storage and burial of nuclear wastes in its territory as well as transporting nuclear weapons and parts for transit purposes.
