Nuclear Nonproliferation


Book Description

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards are a cornerstone of international efforts to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation. The discovery that Iraq had developed a 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 the safeguards system. This report: describes the changes IAEA is undertaking to strengthen its safeguards program; assesses the reasonableness of IAEA's assumptions regarding the impact of these changes on program costs and efficiency; and comments on the extent of IAEA's reliance on the U.S. to finance the Agency's safeguards activities.

Tightening the Reins


Book Description

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.
