INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY: SAFEGUARDSOctober 26th, 2016
Safeguards Agreements: The safeguards system establishes legally binding agreements between States and the IAEA pursuant to the commitments made under international and regional nonproliferation agreements. These measures verify that the declarations made by States about their nuclear materials and activities are both bilateral and multilateral in nature and are the basis of the IAEA’s verification functions. Most are known as “full scope” or “comprehensive” agreements because they extend to all peaceful nuclear activities and nuclear material in a State. The IAEA is also the verification authority of the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty. Inspectors work to ensure that safeguarded nuclear materials are used for peaceful purposes and not for military purposes.
