Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the current position of the supreme nuclear regulatory authority in Poland – the President of the National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA President) in the structure of government administration in the light of provisions of the Polish Constitution and of international and European law, taking into account the principle of independence of nuclear regulatory authorities. A particular attention was paid to the critical analysis of the current subordination of the PAA President to the supervision of the minister responsible for the environment. Based on the arguments relating to the importance of the tasks of the PAA President and their importance for national security, their multifaceted character in relation to various sectors of government administration, as well as on the basis of comparative and historical ones, it is postulated to restore the supervision of the Prime Minister over the PAA President.
