Secretariat is able to implement integrated safeguards to achieve maximum
effectiveness and efficiency in meeting the IAEA safeguards obligations.
During the year, safeguards were applied for 178 States47 with safeguards
agreements with the IAEA in force, and of these, 109 States had both CSAs
and APs in force. For 58 of these States, 48 the IAEA concluded that all nuclear
material remained in peaceful activities. For 51 of the States, the Agency
had not yet completed all the necessary evaluations under their APs, and
concluded that the declared nuclear material remained in peaceful activities.
For 61 States with CSAs in force but without APs in force, the IAEA was able
to draw the conclusion that declared nuclear material remained in peaceful
nuclear activities.
In 2011, for three States that had safeguards agreements in force, based
on INFCIRC/66/Rev.2, which require the application of safeguards to nuclear
material, facilities and other items subject to such safeguards agreements,
the Secretariat concluded that the nuclear material, facilities or other items,
to which safeguards were applied, remained in peaceful activities. Safeguards
were also implemented with regard to declared nuclear material in selected
facilities in the five nuclear-weapon States, all of which have voluntary offer
safeguards agreements in force. For these five States, the IAEA concluded
that nuclear material to which safeguards were applied in selected facilities
remained in peaceful activities or had been withdrawn as provided for in the
agreements.
The Secretariat could not draw any safeguards conclusions in 2011 for
14 non-nuclear-weapon States parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation
of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) without safeguards agreements in force.
