Fostering the International Nuclear Safeguards System
The nuclear safeguards system is a key element of the international regime of the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. Over decades it has evolved into a multifaceted set of legal and technical measures aimed at verifying the compliance of states with their non-proliferation commitments in the nuclear sector.
The system of international safeguards requires that the NRAs and nuclear facility operators in the countries, where safeguards are implemented, should satisfy specific requirements in respect to the accounting for and control of nuclear material. Each signatory member state should act in meeting the obligations stipulated in their Safeguard’s agreements and additional protocols.
