Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On

Energy Research And Protection,

Committee On Science And Technology

OF THE UNITED STATES




'New And Better Equipment Being Made

Available For International Nuclear Safeguards



Since 1977, the United States, eight other countries, and a
multinational organization have voluntarily contributed
about $80 million to improve the technical capabilities of
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in con-
ducting its nuclear safeguards activities These activities
are intended to ensure that safeguarded nuclear facilities
and materials are not used to further any military or
explosive purpose, The U S program, first and largest of
these efforts, has resulted in the development of 21 types
of safeguards equipment, most of which are currently in
use.


With the recent growth in the number and size of
specialized support programs, effective coordination is
needed to help achieve a fully integrated, multilateral
technical assistance program In June 1983, IAEA took a
significant step toward this goal by sponsoring the first
conference for representatives from each of the 10 formal
assistance programs,

Efforts are underway to overcome a number of hindrances
to getting equipment into routine use, including the need
for more coordination, early testing and use of equipment,
and equipment documentation GAO recommends actions
to the Secretary of State to further assist in
overcoming these and other hindrances
