§ 6322. IAEA internal reforms

In order to promote the early adoption of reforms in the implementation of the safeguards

responsibilities of the IAEA, the Congress urges

the President to negotiate with other nations

and groups of nations, including the IAEA Board

of Governors and the Nuclear Suppliers Group,

to—

(1) improve the access of the IAEA within

nuclear facilities that are capable of producing, processing, or fabricating special nuclear

material suitable for use in a nuclear explosive device;

(2)(A) facilitate the IAEA’s efforts to meet

and to maintain its own goals for detecting

the diversion of nuclear materials and equipment, giving particular attention to facilities

in which there are bulk quantities of plutonium; and

(B) if it is not technically feasible for the

IAEA to meet those detection goals in a particular facility, require the IAEA to declare

publicly that it is unable to do so;

(3) enable the IAEA to issue fines for violations of safeguards procedures, to pay rewards

for information on possible safeguards violations, and to establish a ‘‘hot line’’ for the reporting of such violations and other illicit

uses of weapons-grade nuclear material;

(4) establish safeguards at facilities engaged

in the manufacture of equipment or material

that is especially designated or prepared for

the processing, use, or production of special

fissionable material or, in the case of non-nuclear-weapon states, of any nuclear explosive

device;

(5) establish safeguards over nuclear research and development activities and facilities;

(6) implement special inspections of undeclared nuclear facilities, as provided for

under existing safeguards procedures, and seek

authority for the IAEA to conduct challenge

inspections on demand at suspected nuclear

sites;

(7) expand the scope of safeguards to include

tritium, uranium concentrates, and nuclear

waste containing special fissionable material,

and increase the scope of such safeguards on

heavy water;

(8) revise downward the IAEA’s official minimum amounts of nuclear material (‘‘significant quantity’’) needed to make a nuclear explosive device and establish these amounts as

national rather than facility standards;

(9) expand the use of full-time resident IAEA

inspectors at sensitive fuel cycle facilities;

(10) promote the use of near real time material accountancy in the conduct of safeguards

at facilities that use, produce, or store significant quantities of special fissionable material;

(11) develop with other IAEA member nations an agreement on procedures to expedite

approvals of visa applications by IAEA inspectors;

(12) provide the IAEA the additional funds,

technical assistance, and political support

necessary to carry out the goals set forth in

this subsection; 1 and

(13) make public the annual safeguards implementation report of the IAEA, establishing

a public registry of commodities in international nuclear commerce, including dualuse goods, and creating a public repository of

current nuclear trade control laws, agreements, regulations, and enforcement and judicial actions by IAEA member nations.
