After this repeal, they would operate under any new regulations that replaced these, or under the main Atomic Energy Act 1953 directly.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nOld regulations must be formally abolished to avoid legal confusion. Without this repeal, someone might accidentally follow the 1974 rules instead of current ones, or face uncertainty about which standards apply."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/atomic-energy-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/atomic-energy-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/atomic-energy-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/atomic-energy-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/atomic-energy-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/atomic-energy-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
