Nuclear Safeguards: information reporting and processing

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will organise a seminar on information reporting and processing under the Safeguards Agreement to be held in Vienna, Austria, from 30 November to 4 December 1998.

The IAEA has undertaken to implement systems in order to collect, maintain and process information provided by Member States who currently report or are making preparations to report information pursuant to the Safeguards Agreement. This includes efforts in progress to provide information on incidents related to the trafficking of nuclear material.

Member States have to follow IAEA criteria to provide the required information and this seminar aims to provide assistance in developing and implementing methods for this, especially in the light of the protocol to the Safeguards Agreement.

The seminar will provide a forum for presenting and discussing information reporting and processing as required under the Agreement and to the trafficking of nuclear materials. The following topics will be covered by the seminar:

- State systems of accounting for and control of nuclear material;
- The additional protocol to the Safeguards Agreement;
- Reporting on the trafficking of nuclear material.
