Strengthening the International Safeguards System, Institutional and Financial Issues,

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the role and resources of the International Atomic Energy Agency in expanding and strengthening the International nuclear safeguards system. In addition to describing the IAEA's budget process and structure, the paper presents forecasts of the expected increases in civil nuclear energy capacities that will impose greater demands on the safeguards system in the future; it discusses evidence concerning the economic and political constraints that impinge on the IAEA's programs; and it analyzes data on the trends in program priorities and the relationship between demands on the Agency's safeguards program and its resources. United States' support processes and priorities receive special attention. (Author)
