Addressing Growing Safeguards Challenges (CHA)

Panelist (Panel Session)

Nuclear trade analysis has effectively strengthened international safeguards for more than a decade. Supported by the IAEA Member States, nuclear trade analysis was a departmental response to the revelation of proliferation networks in the early 2000s. The collection, analysis and synthesis of trade-related information with information from open and other sources has diversified and enhanced...

Addressing Growing Safeguards Challenges (CHA)

Panelist (Panel Session)

The scope and volume of transnational nuclear related trade and knowledge flows are expanding to new countries and regions with nascent nuclear related industries and research establishments, presenting new safeguards challenges. In this paper, we describe a method of using publicly available data to map the national and regional networks states use to trade in nuclear materials and...

304. The Changing Architecture of Nuclear Trade: Trends in Manufacturing Base Supply and Demand

Addressing Growing Safeguards Challenges (CHA)

Panelist (Panel Session)

Substantial counter-proliferation resources are spent trying to identify and prevent the diversion of dual-use goods to illicit nuclear programs. Since 2004, all countries have been required to have in place export controls on dual-use goods. Because not all trade flows can be followed, tracking the flow of nuclear dual-use items can be prioritized by focusing on so-called 'choke-point' goods:...

324. Emerging dual-use technologies and global supply chain compliance

Contributor (Panel Session)

With the progress of technologies for telecommunication, synthetic biology, chemistry, additive manufacturing and nanoscale processes, many opportunities arise, allowing more effective and innovative production and the achievement of results with great potential both on the technical and commercial sides. At the same time however, rapid technological developments may create opportunities and...

143. Additive Manufacturing: The Future for Safeguards

Dr Grant Christopher (Ridgeway Information)

Addressing Growing Safeguards Challenges (CHA)

Panelist (Panel Session)

Additive manufacturing is described as a transformative technology that will allow objects with complex topologies and 21st Century materials to be produced locally. The impact on safeguards is not yet clear as the technology just beginning to impact industry. Exactly what the technology will be able to produce that nuclear-relevant in the near future is unclear; especially if it allows states...

Abstract

State Evaluation Groups in the Department of Safeguards analyse safeguards relevant open source information on States’ nuclear related industrial capabilities, including the nuclear related equipment and materials they can make use of either through...

326. Potential Proliferation Indicators through Analysis of Trade in Non-Controlled Industrial Goods

Addressing Growing Safeguards Challenges (CHA)

Panelist (Panel Session)

Any State’s ability to carry out an indigenous, clandestine proliferation programme must be directly related to its industrial and technological capabilities. It is postulated that monitoring of trade data for non-controlled items can provide valuable insight into a State’s potential proliferation capabilities, and may also provide indirect indicators of a proliferation agenda. The paper...
