Description

As a state party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)Thailand has been implementing the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/241) since 1974. In order to fulfill international obligations under the NPT and to provide the transparency on nuclear energy uses, Thailand had signed the Additional Protocol on 22nd September 2005 and prepared regulatory legal framework and implementation for ratification. After all the efforts for 12 years conducted by the Office of Atoms for Peace (OAP) and relevant authorities, the Additional Protocol entered into force on 17th November 2017. National and international supports, experiences, challenges and procedures to implement the Additional Protocol in Thailand will be explained in this paper.
