contains a set of regulations gg designed to enable the Agency to implement the principles set forth in annex I 2 In recent months there have been several developments which make it desir- able for the Board now to decide on the principles on which the Agency's safee guards should be based and to adopt a set of regulations to govern the appli cation The main reasons are the followings The safeguards which the Agency is to apply in connexion with the supply of some three tons of natural uranium metal to the Japanese Government have not as yet been fully determined although the gr Government has been notified that the Agency is now elaborating general safeguards procedures Approval by the Board of such w procedures is therefore necessary to enable the Agency to specify the

the Board 4 In the light of the foregoing the Director General recommends the Board To approve the general principles set forth in annex I section as the basis for determining the relevancy of Agency safeguards to any Agency project or other arrangement where the Agency is required to apply safeguards and Having decided on the general principles for determining the relevancy of Agency safeguards to approve the regulations required to enable these principles to be applied t Authority W3 i soy 334 Annex I page 1 A THE-RELEVANCE AND METHOD OF APPLICATION OF AGENCY SAFEGUARDS 15 April 1959 I INTRODUCTION 1 Under the Statute the-Agency is authorized to establish and administer a system of safeguards to ensure as far as it is able that assistance provided by it or at its request is not used so as to further any military purpose The Agency may also if so requested by the State or States concerned apply this system of safeguards to a State's own nuclear activities or to any bilateral or multilateral arrangement _ The Agency must9 in addition establish standards of health and safety for-the protection of life and property _and provide for their application to operations for which the Agency is furnishing assistance and if requested to the activities of a State or to any bilateral or multilateral arrangement To enable the Agency to fulfil theSe duties the Statute provides that it shall have certain rights and responsibilities with respect to any project for which it gives its assistance and with respect to any arrangement where it is requested to apply safeguards as far as relevant to such project _or arrangement 2a So that the Agency may be able to fulfil these statutory duties it is proposed that general regulations for the application of safeguards shOuld be adopted in orders To enable a State or group of States applying for assistance by Dr through the Agency to consider in advance the Agency safeguards that may be applied in connexion with such assistance To enable the parties to a'bilateral or multilateral arrangement or a State to determine how Agency safeguards might be applied to certain activities at their or its own request and' - To enable the Board to determine readily what safeguards should be applied to Agency projects or to arrangements that the Agency has been requested to safeguard IL- DECLASSIFIED Authorlmmeessma Gov 334 Annex I page 2 II SCOPE OF THE SAFEGUARDS PROPOSALS 3 The general principles which if approved by the Board would be followed by the Agency in determining the safeguards that are relevant to various types_ of nuclear materials and activities are set forth in section of this annex Annex II contains a set of detailed regulations that the Secretariat would re quire for the application of safeguards on the basis of these principles These regulations lay down the procedures for the application of safeguards which it is expected the Agency may be required to apply in the next three years As further safeguards methods are developed the regulations may have to be modified accordingly 4 The Secretariat intends to continue to sponsor and conduct research to improve the methodology of-safeguards to make it possible to achieve the same or better results in security and safety with the least possible expense to the Agency and inconvenience to its Membersu The Secretariat intends in addition to continue to develop safeguards procedures that may be required in the_future 'for installations that are larger or for other types than those covered in annex II for example large power reactors reactors using large amounts of thorium chemical processing plants for irradiated materials or separation plants for isotopes of uranium or isotopes of plutonium GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR DETERMINING THE RELEVANCY OF AGENCY SAFEGUARDS 5 To the extent specified below Agency safeguards would_be applied to source and special fissionable materials and to nuclear facilities supplied by the Agency or voluntarily placed under its control similarly source and special fissionable materials produced from or by the use of such materials or facilities would be subject to Agency safeguards The principal factors for determining the relevance of particular Agency safeguards to various_types of materials or facilities are The type and amount of assistance supplied by the Agency The dogree_to which this assistance could be used to further any military purpose and The health and safety hazards connected with the activity DECLASSHHED 5 Authority W3 5 Gov 334 Annex I page 3 7 In determining the application of Agency safeguards the Agency would take account of the total amount of materials and nuclear facilities in the State subject to safeguards by other organizations or States This total would in clude The source and Special fissionable materials and nuclear facilities subject to Agency safeguards and The source and Special fissionable materials subject to Safeguards by other organizations or States and those produced by nuclear facilities subject to safeguards_by such other organizations or States 'The type and extent of safeguards applied to materials and facilities subject to Agency safeguards would be determined as if the assistance referred to in sub paragraphs and above were supplied by the Agency but taking into account the safeguards applied by the other supplying organizations or States pie Significant quantities of materials 8 7 In determining the extent of the application of Agency safeguards the following criteria would be adoptedo Minimum quantities for application of safeguards 9g' It is not considered necessary to apply safeguards to very small quantities of materials 100 Agency Safeguards other than hea lth safeguards would first become applicable to source materials supplied %ysgratw%th the assistance of the amount supplied g aahw chaneswm ton of contained uranium and thoriumo Vagency safeguards other than health safeguards

special fissionable materialso If the amount of source or special fissionable materials supplied were less than the respective quantities indicated above only health safeguards may be applied to the material see paragraph 12 below However if the amount were greater than the reSpective quantities Agency safeguards would be applied to all such source or special fissionable materials if a 7 52 it If n a a DECLASSIFIED Amho mmuesacia Annex I page 4 11a Agency safeguards other than health safeguards would not be applied to source materials if the quantity in the State previously subject to Agency safeguards decreased to less than one tonnc and would not be applied to special 'fissionable materials if the quantity in the State decreased at any time to less than 100 grammes of fissile materials that would otherwise be subject to Agency safeguards 12 Source or special fissionable materials in much smaller quantities than those whOse diversion from peaceful purposes must be detected may endanger health and safety Health safeguards therefore may be applied to any amount of these materials or radioisotopes greater than the minimum significant quantities designated in the Agency s manual Safe Handling of Radioisotopes but regular inepections would not commence until the quantities of materials exceeded the quantities Specified in paragraph 10 above Rate of diversion 13 It is neither technically nor economically feasible to set up a system of 'safeguards that would guarantee that no source or Special fissionable material at all could be diverted to an unauthorized useo It is practicable to vary the degree of stringency of a system of safeguards to control within wide limits the rate of such possible diversion 14 Agency safeguards would be applied in such a manner as to achieve a high probability of detecting the diversion of even small quantities of material and to be almost certain of ensuring the detection of the diversion of as muchas six tonnes per year of uranium and thorium contained in source materials or 4 of as much as 5 grammes per year of fissile materials ice plutonium uranium 233 and uranium 235 contained in special fissionable materials Stocks of special fissionable materials Yll 5 safeguards exceeding certain quantities it will be essary to ensure that if the stocks be diverted they cannot be used for a military weapon before the 150 When
