The message of the President is as

To the Senate of the United States: 

I transmit herewith, for Senate advice and consent to ratification, the 

Convention on Nuclear Safety done at 

Vienna on September 20, 1994. This 

Convention was adopted by a Diplomatic Conference convened by the 

International Atomic Energy Agency 

(IAEA) in June 1994 and was opened for 

signature in Vienna on September 20, 

1994, during the IAEA General Conference. Secretary of Energy O’Leary 

signed the Convention for the United 

States on that date. Also transmitted 

for the information of the Senate is the 

report of the Department of State concerning the Convention. 

At the September 1991 General Conference of the IAEA, a resolution was 

adopted, with U.S. support, calling for 

the IAEA secretariat to develop elements for a possible International Convention on Nuclear Safety. From 1992 

to 1994, the IAEA convened seven expert working group meetings, in which 

the United States participated. The 

IAEA Board of Governors approved a 

draft text at its meeting in February 

1994, after which the IAEA convened a 

Diplomatic Conference attended by 

representatives of more than 80 countries in June 1994. The final text of the 

Convention resulted from that Conference. 

The Convention establishes a legal 

obligation on the part of Parties to 

apply certain general safety principles 

to the construction, operation, and regulation of land-based civilian nuclear 

power plants under their jurisdiction. 

Parties to the Convention also agree to 

submit periodic reports on the steps 

they are taking to implement the obligations of the Convention. These reports will be reviewed and discussed at 

review meetings of the Parties, at 

which each Party will have an opportunity to discuss and seek clarification 

of reports submitted by other Parties. 

The United States has initiated 

many steps to deal with nuclear safety, 

and has supported the effort to develop 

this Convention. With its obligatory 

reporting and review procedures, requiring Parties to demonstrate in
