The Regulatory Cooperation Forum was established in 2010 in response to a request by IAEA member states to establish a platform for coordinating assistance in building a regulatory nuclear safety infrastructure by the states with advanced nuclear power to states that are planning or are starting to implement their nuclear programs. RCF unites 26 states. Belarus joined the organization in 2012 and is one of the recipient states.
