Abstract
: Reprocessing technologies of spent nuclear fuel, disposal facilities in deep geological structures, small nuclear reactors - these three new technologies are currently being intensively discussed and it is likely that they will be deployed in the Czech Republic. However, the precondition to any such deployment is not only the fulfilment of technological requirements, but also the establishment of an adequate legal framework.
This paper deals with the preparedness of the existing legal framework to the deployment of these new technologies. In broader terms, this paper aims to contribute to the theoretical discussion on the mutual relations between law and the emerging new technologies.
