The IAEA continues to provide credible assurance to the international community regarding States’ adherences to their safeguards obligations under the nuclear NonProliferation Treaty. Generally, industrial activities, including those related to the nuclear fuel cycle, are operating on increasingly larger scales involving more equipment, more nuclear material products and flows. With limited resources, it will be extremely difficult for the IAEA to match such an increased activity and it is important to address these challenges by improving and developing new techniques that will reduce the inspection implementation workload.
