UN ATOMIC WATCHDOG ENDORSES PLAN TO ENSURE PEACEFUL NATURE OF IRAN'S
NUCLEAR PROGRAMMENew York, Jan 24 2014 1:00PMThe recently concluded
action plan aimed at allaying international concerns about Iran's
nuclear programme is an important development, the head of the United
Nations atomic watchdog said today, while adding that there is still a
long way to go in this effort.
Last November, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and
the United States agreed on a Joint Plan of Action with Iran aimed at
achieving "a mutually-agreed, long-term comprehensive solution that
would ensure Iran's nuclear programme will be exclusively peaceful."
The plan envisages the Agency undertaking monitoring and verification
of a series of "voluntary measures" to be taken by Iran over a period
of six months.
"This is an important and encouraging development after several years
of little or no progress," Yukiya Amano, Director General of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told a news conference in
Vienna, following his meeting with the Agency's Board of Governors.
Iran's nuclear programme – which its officials have stated is for
peaceful purposes, but some other countries contend is driven by
military ambitions – has been a matter of international concern since
the discovery in 2003 that the country had concealed its nuclear
activities for 18 years in breach of its obligations under the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Mr. Amano said the implications of the action plan for the IAEA are
"quite far-reaching," with much more work and more travel for
safeguards staff dealing with Iran.
In his <"http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/statements/2014/amsp2014n01.html">briefing
to the Board, which endorsed the plan, Mr. Amano said the Agency will
need to nearly double the staff resources devoted to verification in
Iran, and significantly increase the frequency of the verification
activities which it is currently conducting.
"Our inspectors will need access to additional locations. We will have
to acquire and install more safeguards equipment and analyze more
samples. And the volume of analytical work and reporting will
increase," he told a special meeting of the 35-nation Board, which is
one of the Agency's main policy-making bodies.
This additional effort will result in increased costs to the Agency,
estimated at around 6 million euros over the next six months.
"I believe this new phase of work in Iran will be a further important
step towards achieving a comprehensive solution to the Iran nuclear
issue. But there is still a long way to go," he stated.
The Director General also informed the Board that the IAEA is
implementing the Framework for Cooperation agreed with Iran last
November. Under the agreement, Iran's cooperation will include
providing the IAEA with timely information about its nuclear
facilities and in regard to the implementation of transparency
measures.
For its part, the IAEA agreed to continue to take into account Iran's
security concerns, including through the use of managed access and the
protection of confidential information.
Another meeting with Iran is expected to take place next month, and
Mr. Amano will then report on developments to the Board at its March
meeting, he said.
"I hope that all of the work undertaken by the Agency will provide an
important contribution to resolving this important issue and will lead
to further positive developments."Jan 24 2014 1:00PM
