From the 1920s to the 1950s, international nuclear energy organizations emerged, initially focusing on radiation protection frameworks. In the 1960s, nuclear law began to develop in earnest, with an emphasis on nuclear non-proliferation (including nuclear-weapon-free zones) and nuclear liability regimes for third parties. During the 1970s, as major nuclear programs in Europe, Japan and North America continued their rapid development, the emphasis continued to be on non-proliferation with the need to regulate nuclear trade.
The lessons learned from the nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island in 1979 and Chernobyl in 1986 helped guide efforts to improve the international legal framework. As a result, a number of international conventions were adopted in the 1980s and 1990s in the following areas: At the same time, nuclear liability regimes have been modernized. After the terrorist attacks of 11. In September 2001, in the United States, the international community focused on improving nuclear safety and the legal framework against terrorism.

Transboundary Mist Pollution Act, 2014 Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act 1973 In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to require federal agencies to make their electronic and computer technologies accessible to persons with disabilities. Section 508 was adopted to remove barriers in the field of information technology, open up new opportunities for persons with disabilities and promote the development of technologies that contribute to the achievement of these goals. The Act applies to all federal organizations when they develop, acquire, maintain or use electronic and computer technologies. Most countries with nuclear energy programmes have enacted special liability and compensation laws to ensure that third parties who suffer nuclear damage as a result of a nuclear incident have access to adequate compensation. These liability and compensation rules reflect the principles of the international nuclear liability conventions, to which many nuclear and non-nuclear-weapon countries have acceded, in order to harmonize national legislation and deal with possible transboundary nuclear damage.
