This book was released on 1998 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards are a cornerstone of U.S. and international efforts to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation. Since the early 1970s, the international community has relied on IAEA safeguards to independently verify that non-nuclear weapon states are complying with their obligations under the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) not to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices. Under the NPT, states with comprehensive safeguards agreements must declare all nuclear material to the Agency. IAEA then regularly inspects all facilities or locations containing declared material to verify its peaceful uses. The discovery that Iraq had developed a clandestine nuclear weapons program while IAEA was inspecting Iraq's civilian nuclear facilities caused the Agency and its member states to initiate an intensive effort to strengthen further the safeguards system. This report (1) describes the changes IAEA is undertaking to strengthen its safeguards program, (2) assesses the reasonableness of IAEA's assumptions regarding the impact of these changes on program costs and efficiency, and (3) comments on the extent of IAEA's reliance on the United States to finance the Agency's safeguards activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear technology in all countries of the world is subject to controls from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to prevent its misuse for military purposes. Recently these controls (or "safeguards") have come under criticism for lack of effectiveness, and the IAEA has now elaborated a strengthened safeguards system reaching deep into the domains of national sovereignty. Problems and prospects of the new system are discussed in this book by a team of German and international scholars, practitioners and officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IAEA plays a crucial role in supporting U.S. nuclear nonproliferation goals through its safeguards and nuclear security programs. The Department of State coordinates the United States' financial and policy relationship with IAEA. IAEA's safeguards program is designed to detect and deter the diversion of nuclear material for non-peaceful purposes, while the agency's nuclear security program assists countries in improving the physical protection of their nuclear material and facilities. IAEA plans to create an international fuel bank to guarantee the supply of fuel for civilian nuclear power programs. GAO was asked to examine (1) any challenges that IAEA faces in carrying out its safeguards program, (2) any limitations regarding the nuclear security program, and (3) the status of IAEA's planned nuclear fuel bank. GAO reviewed relevant documents and interviewed officials from IAEA and U.S. federal agencies, 15 nuclear nonproliferation experts, and representatives from 16 countries. GAO recommends, among other things, that State work with IAEA to (1) clearly define and communicate how IAEA will implement the state-level concept, (2) evaluate the nuclear security program's long-term resource needs, and (3) prepare a plan for the long-term operation and funding of IAEA's fuel bank. State agreed with several of the recommendations and disagreed with two, including the one on the nuclear security program's long-term resource needs. GAO continues to believe that implementing all of these recommendations would enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of IAEA's programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is promoting the peaceful uses of nuclear energy through its Technical Cooperation (TC) program, which provides equipment, training, fellowships, and other services to its member states. The United States provides approximately 25 percent of the TC program's annual budget. This report addresses the (1) extent to which the United States and IAEA have policies limiting member states' participation in the TC program on the basis of nuclear proliferation and related concerns; (2) extent to which the United States and IAEA evaluate and monitor TC projects for proliferation concerns; and (3) any limitations and challenges in IAEA's management of the TC program. To address these issues, GAO interviewed relevant officials at the Departments of State (State) and Energy (DOE) and IAEA; analyzed IAEA, DOE, and national laboratory data; and assessed State and IAEA policies toward the TC program. GAO is asking Congress to consider requiring State to withhold a proportionate share of its contributions to the TCF for TC program assistance provided to U.S.-designated state sponsors of terrorism or to report to Congress on its rationale for not withholding a proportionate share of its TCF contribution for such countries. State opposed a proportionate withholding requirement.

Download or read book Use of Nuclear Material Accounting and Control for Nuclear Security Purposes at Facilities written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by IAEA Nuclear Security. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear material accounting and control (NMAC) works in a complementary fashion with the international safeguards programme and physical protection systems to help prevent, deter or detect the unauthorized acquisition and use of nuclear materials. These three methodologies are employed by Member States to defend against external threats, internal threats and both State actors and non-State actors. This publication offers guidance for implementing NMAC measures for nuclear security at the nuclear facility level. It focuses on measures to mitigate the risk posed by insider threats and describes elements of a programme that can be implemented at a nuclear facility in coordination with the physical protection system for the purpose of deterring and detecting unauthorized removal of nuclear material.
