have access to any location where the initial report or
any inspections carried out in connection with it indicate
that nuclear material is present.

For the purposes specified in Article 69(c), Agency inspec-
tors shall have access to any location of which the Agency
has been notified in accordance with Articles 91(d)(iii) or
93(d)(iii).

For the purposes specified in Article 70, Agency inspec-
tors shall have access only to the strategic points specified
in the Subsidiary Arrangements and to the records
maintained pursuant to Articles 49 to 56.

In the event of France or the Community concluding that
any unusual circumstances require extended limitations
on access by the Agency, France and the Community and
the Agency shall promptly make arrangements with a
view to enabling the Agency to discharge its safeguards
responsibilities in the light of these limitations. The
Director-General shall report each such arrangement to
the Board.

FREQUENCY AND INTENSITY OF ROUTINE INSPECTIONS

Article 76

The number, intensity and duration of routine inspections,
applying optimum timing, shall be kept to the minimum
consistent with the effective implementation of the safeguards
procedures set forth in this Agreement, and optimum and
most economical use of available inspection resources under
the Agreement shall be made.

Article 77

The Agency may carry out one routine inspection per year in
respect of facilities and material balance areas outside facilities
with a content or annual throughput, whichever is greater, of
nuclear material not exceeding five effective kilograms.

Article 78

The number, intensity, duration, timing and mode of routine
inspections in respect of facilities with a content or annual
throughput of nuclear material exceeding five effective kilog-
rams shall be determined on the basis that in the maximum or
limiting case the inspection regime shall be no more intensive
than is necessary and sufficient to maintain continuity of
knowledge of the flow and inventory of nuclear material, and
the maximum routine inspection effort in respect of such
facilities shall be determined as follows:

(a)

(b)

for reactors and sealed storage installations the maximum
total of routine inspection per year shall be determined
by allowing one sixth of a man-year of inspection for
each such facility;

for facilities, other than reactors or sealed storage instal-
lations,
involving plutonium or uranium enriched to
more than 5 %, the maximum total of routine inspection
per year shall be determined by allowing for each such
facility 30 × (cid:211)E man-days of inspection per year, where E
is the inventory or annual throughput of nuclear material,
whichever is greater, expressed in effective kilograms. The
maximum established for any such facility shall not,
however, be less than 1,5 man-years of inspection;

19.10.2000

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 298/15

(c)

for facilities not covered by paragraphs (a) or (b), the
maximum total of routine inspection per year shall be
determined by allowing for each such facility one third of
a man-year of inspection plus 0,4 × (cid:211)E man-days of
inspection per year, where E is the inventory or annual
throughput of nuclear material, whichever is greater,
expressed in effective kilograms.

France, the Community and the Agency may agree to amend
the figures for the maximum inspection effort specified in this
Article, on determination by the Board that such amendment
is reasonable.

and above, its weight in kilograms multiplied
by the square of its enrichment;

for uranium with an enrichment below 0,01
(1 %) and above 0,005 (0,5 %), its weight in
kilograms multiplied by 0,0001;

for depleted uranium with an enrichment of
0,005 (0,5 %) or below, and for thorium, its
weight in kilograms multiplied by 0,00005.

H.

Enrichment means the ratio of the combined weight
of the isotopes uranium-233 and uranium-235 to
that of the total uranium in question.

I.

Facility means:

(a)

a reactor, a critical facility, a conversion plant,
a fabrication plant, a reprocessing plant, an
isotope separation plant or a separate storage
installation; or

(b)

grams of total uranium and grams of contained
uranium-235 plus uranium-233 for uranium
enriched in these isotopes;

(b)

any location where nuclear material in amounts
greater than one effective kilogram is custom-
arily used.

(c)

kilograms of contained thorium, natural urani-
um or depleted uranium.

For reporting purposes the weights of individual
items in the batch shall be added together before
rouding to the nearest unit.

Book inventory of a material balance area means the
algebraic sum of the most recent physical inventory
of that material balance area and of all inventory
changes that have occurred since that physical
inventory was taken.

Correction means an entry into an accounting record
or a report to rectify an identified mistake or to
reflect an improved measurement of a quantity
previously entered into the record or report. Each
correction must
identify the entry to which it
pertains.

J.

Inventory change means an increase or decrease, in
terms of batches, of nuclear material in a material
balance area; such a change shall involve one of the
following:

(a)

increases:

(i)

import;

receipts

domestic receipt:
from other
material balance areas, receipts from a
non-safeguarded (non-peaceful) activity or
receipts at the starting point of safeguards;

domestic shipment: shipments to other
material balance areas or shipments for a
non-safeguarded (non-peaceful) activity;

(iii) nuclear loss: loss of nuclear material due
to its transformation into other element(s)
or isotope(s) as a result of nuclear reac-
tions;

(iv) measured discard: nuclear material which
has been measured, or estimated on the
basis of measurements, and disposed of in
such a way that it is not suitable for
further nuclear use;

(v)

retained waste: nuclear material generated
from processing or from an operational
accident, which is deemed to be irrecover-
able for the time being but which is stored;

(vi) exemption: exemption of nuclear material
from safeguards on account of its use or
quantity;

(vii) other loss: for example, accidental

loss
(that is, irretrievable and inadvertent loss
of nuclear as the result of an operational
accident) or theft.

K.

Key measurement point means a location where
nuclear material appears in such a from that it
may be measured to determine material flow or
inventory. Key measurement points thus include,

The French Republic (hereinafter referred to as ‘France’), the European Atomic Energy Community
(hereinafter referred to as ‘the Community’) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (hereinafter
referred to as ‘the Agency’) have agreed as follows:

I.

A.

until such time as French Protocol I territories have, in peaceful nuclear activities,

1.

nuclear material in quantities exceeding the limits stated, for the type of material in
question, in Article 35 of the Agreement between France, the Community and the Agency
for the Application of Safeguards in Connection with the Treaty for the Prohibition of
Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (hereinafter referred to as ‘the
Agreement’), or

2.

nuclear material in a facility as defined in the definitions,

the implementation of the provisions of Part II of the Agreement shall be held in abeyance,
with the exception of Articles 31, 32, 37, 40 and 89.

B.

C.

The information to be reported pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of Article 32 of the
Agreement may be consolidated and submitted in an annual report; similarly, an annual report
shall be submitted, if applicable, with respect to the import and export of nuclear material
described in paragraph (c) of Article 32.

In order to enable the timely conclusion of the Subsidiary Arrangements provided for in
Article 37 of the Agreement, the Community shall notify the Agency sufficiently in advance of
having nuclear material in peaceful nuclear activities in French Protocol I territories in quantities
that exceed the limits or six months before nuclear material is to be introduced into a facility,
as referred to in Section A hereof, whichever occurs first. At such time, procedures for
cooperation in the application of the safeguards provided for under the Agreement shall be
agreed on, as necessary, between France, the Community and the Agency.

II.

This Protocol shall be signed by the representatives of France, the Community and the Agency and
shall enter into force on the same date as the Agreement.

PROTOCOL 2

The French Republic (hereinafter referred to as ‘France’), the European Atomic Energy Community
(hereinafter referred to as ‘the Community’) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (hereinafter
referred to as ‘the Agency’) have agreed as follows.

I.

At such time as the Community notifies the Agency in accordance with Section I.C of Protocol 1 of
this Agreement that there is nuclear material in peaceful nuclear activities in French Protocol I
territories in quantities that exceed the limits referred to in Section I.A.1 of Protocol 1 of this
Agreement or that nuclear material is to be introduced into a facility, as referred to in Section I.A.2
of Protocol 1 of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, a Protocol for procedures for cooperation
in the application of the safeguards provided for under the Agreement shall be agreed on between
France, the Community and the Agency. Such procedures will amplify certain provisions of the
Agreement and, in particular, specify the conditions and means according to which the cooperation
referred to above shall be implemented in such a way as to avoid unnecessary duplication of
safeguards activities. The procedures shall, to the extent practicable, be based on those then in force
under Protocols to, and the subsidiary arrangements of, other safeguards agreements between
Member States of the Community, the Community and the Agency, including the related special
understandings agreed on by the Community and the Agency.

II.

This Protocol shall be signed by the representatives of France, the Community and the Agency and
shall enter into force on the same date as the Agreement.
