Issues of transformation of regulatory and legal regulation in the field of the use of nuclear energy under the conditions of digitalization

The article notes the objectively determined need for digitalization in the field of the use of atomic energy, its growing role in the development of innovative nuclear energy technologies, and identifies the problems caused by the widespread use of digital technologies in this area. The current state of the national legal regulation of digital transformation in general, and in the energy sector in particular, has been studied. Based on the assessment of the impact of digital transformation on international legal regulation in the field of the use of atomic energy, the author made an attempt to identify features that reflect its structural changes at this stage. It is concluded that international nuclear law responds in a timely manner to the rapid development and spread of digital technologies, which is manifested in its adaptability to changes, increased hybridization of legal regimes and the impact on values, as well as their interconnection and conditionality. The high pace of digital transformation of the legal regulation of the area under consideration requires regular comparative legal research in order to determine its scale and identify relevant changes.
