International Atomic Energy Agency
Motto : Atoms For Peace And
Development

The Manhattan Project
As the bomb fell over
Hiroshima and exploded, we
saw an entire city disappear. I
wrote in my diary the words:
“My God, what have we
done?”

Bomber

Formation of IAEA
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) serves
as the world’s foremost
intergovernmental forum for scientific and technical
cooperation in the peaceful use of
nuclear energy. Established in 1957 as an autonomous
international organization within
the United Nations system, the IAEA carries out
programmes to maximize the contribution
of nuclear technology to society while verifying its
peaceful use.

IAEA at a Glance
● Founded in 1957
● Over 175 Member
States
● 2300 professional
and support staff
● Rafeal Grossi DG
of IAEA
● 2 scientific
laboratories and
research centres
● Headquarters in Vienna;
offices in Tokyo,
Toronto, Geneva and
New York

The Cold War Era
During cold war the rising
tensions between the foremost
nuclear powers, the United
States and the Soviet Union urge
U.S. President Dwight D.
Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace"
speech, which called for the
creation of an international
organization to monitor the global
proliferation of nuclear resources
and technology

Duality of Nuclear Technology

Duality of Nuclear
Technology
Dual-use nuclear technology refers to
the possibility of military use of civilian
nuclear power technology. Many
technologies and materials associated
with the creation of a nuclear power
program have a dual-use capability

The IAEA and its mission
Maximizing the contribution of nuclear
technology to the world
while verifying its peaceful use

The Non-Proliferation Treaty

The Non Proliferation Treaty
The NPT aims to prevent the spread of nuclear
weapons and weapons technology, to foster the
peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and to further the
goal of disarmament. The Treaty establishes a
safeguards system under the responsibility of the
IAEA, which also plays a central role under the
Treaty in areas of technology transfer for peaceful
purposes.

Safeguards &
Verification

How do IAEA inspectors work?

Inspection of IAEA
An in-field inspection covers a set of activities
carried out by IAEA inspectors at nuclear facilities
or locations outside facilities to verify that the
nuclear material declared and placed under
safeguards remains in peaceful nuclear activities
or is otherwise adequately accounted for. IAEA
inspectors perform a variety of verification
activities in the field.

Safeguards Analytical
Laboratories

Safeguards Analytical
Laboratories
Samples collected by IAEA inspectors are analysed
at the IAEA's Nuclear Material Laboratory (NML) and
the Environmental Sample Laboratory (ESL), both of
which are located at Seibersdorf in Austria. A third
laboratory, the On Site Laboratory (OSL) at the
Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant in Japan, a joint facility
staffed by the IAEA and host nation
scientists, also conducts analysis of nuclear material
samples from the reprocessing plant.

Safety & Security

Nuclear Safety
• over 440 nuclear
power reactors in
operation worldwide
• 1000s of uses of
radioactive materials
in:
• Industry
• Medicine
• Agriculture
• Mineral exploration

Nuclear Security: The Terrorist Threat
• Attack or sabotage
of nuclear facility
• Dirty Bomb, RDD
(Radiological
Dispersal Device)
• Construction of
a simple
nuclear
explosion device

Science & Technology

Science & Technology
• Water resource management: Isotope hydrology
• Pest control: Sterile insect technique
• Food safety: Irradiation
• Environmental management: Pollution control
• Cancer treatment: Radiotherapy
• Nuclear Medicine: Diagnostics

Technical Cooperation:
Addresses critical problems in developing nations
• Contaminated drinking water
• Infectious diseases: TB, AIDS
• Malaria and Sleeping Sickness
•Malnutrition and food scarcity
• Pollution
• Shortage of knowledge and skills

Conclusion
IAEA doing its work effectively but if the
members states stop supporting IAEA it
cannot work and it can only assist or
prevent a country in nuclear assets only
if country wants to do so and without the
support of USA IAEA is a crippled
institution
