Establishment of the National Office of Nuclear Technology

The spread of nuclear technology has exacerbated a long standing tension within the nuclear regime, arising from the simple fact that the technology required for civilian nuclear fuel can also be used to develop nuclear weapons.

Report of the National Office of Nuclear Energy and Technology

Although Norway does not produce nuclear energy, it fully recognizes the inalienable right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy and nuclear technology.

The discovery of a sophisticated and clandestine nuclear procurement network supplying nuclear material, equipment and technology was deeply worrying.

What applies to Nigeria's quest for reliable nuclear power generation also applies to other areas of nuclear technology and applications.

There was no incompatibility between tightening controls over the nuclear fuel cycle and expanding the use of peaceful nuclear technology.

Of course, Japan itself already possesses both nuclear technology and solid fuel missiles.

In December 2010, Malaysia expressed interest in procuring South Korea's nuclear reactor technology.

The spread of nuclear technology and the growing risk of nuclear terrorism make it imperative that we get it right this time.

As we seek to operationalize our energy security plan, we envisage the importation of nuclear plants and other relevant civilian nuclear technology.

Civilian use of nuclear energy and technology must become fully resistant to proliferation, with better mechanisms for controlling the nuclear fuel cycle.

Its key objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology...and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament.

Of course, historical analogies are imperfect. Obviously, cyber technology is very different from nuclear technology, particularly because non governmental actors can exploit it much more easily.

Sweden has therefore enforced effective measures to account for and secure the production, use and storage of nuclear material and the production of nuclear technology.

By transferring nuclear weapon technology to Israel and participating in other forms of nuclear sharing, the United States is not complying with its NPT obligations.

Communication of information contained in sensitive nuclear technology is also controlled through the grant of authorities.

With the cooperation of IAEA, it had established the Bolivian Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology.

Through multilateral and bilateral programmes it encourages the many peaceful and beneficial applications of nuclear technology.

We are disappointed that extraneous reasons are being employed by some nuclear weapon States to deny the rights of non nuclear weapon States to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and technology.

The IAEA's work in the development and safe use of peaceful nuclear technology, including nuclear energy, is also of extreme importance to the entire international community.

We believe a new framework is needed to limit the spread of sensitive nuclear technology, while respecting the right of NPT parties to peaceful nuclear energy.

Critics charge that the agreement undermines the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by letting India have its cake (nuclear weapons) and eat it, too (by giving it access to nuclear fuel and technology).

Progress in nuclear science and technology in France and Israel remained closely linked throughout the early fifties.

The use of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes is a right that is guaranteed by the NPT.

Regional Cooperative Agreement for the Promotion of Nuclear Science and Technology in Latin America and the Caribbean.

China has joined the Nuclear Suppliers Group and is willing to join the Missile Technology Control Regime.

The Conference urges that nuclear export controls be strengthened to take into account the possibility that nuclear related equipment, material or technology could be diverted to terrorists.

Its responsibilities will be to plan, coordinate and carry out activities to promote nuclear technology, taking as a basis the general guidelines set by national nuclear policy.

Iran began its nuclear research as early as 1975, when France cooperated with Iran to set up the Esfahan Nuclear Technology Center (ENTC) to provide training for personnel to develop certain nuclear fuel cycle capabilities.

India s concerns also focus on China s ongoing supply of arms, including missiles and nuclear weapons technology, to Pakistan.

Another fissile isotope, uranium 233, can be produced from natural thorium and is also important in nuclear technology.

An agreement between the National Office of Nuclear Energy and Technology and the Customs Office is pending approval.

But the nuclear program remained a laggard. Qadaffi continued to import nuclear technology secretly, even as his diplomats privately negotiated a modus vivendi with the US and Britain.

The States parties remain concerned about the ability of certain States not parties to the Treaty to obtain nuclear materials, technology and know how to develop nuclear weapons.

It includes prior certification by the nuclear regulating authority (National Office of Nuclear Energy and Technology) for the import export and transit of radioactive materials through the country.

Lastly, nuclear weapon free zones should impede neither the use of nuclear science and technology for peaceful purposes nor the work of IAEA technical cooperation programmes in promoting the development of nuclear energy to that end.

The center produced the fissile material for North Korea's nuclear weapon tests in 2006 and 2009, and since 2009 is developing indigenous light water reactor nuclear power station technology.

Measures to mitigate this tension must confront the dangers of nuclear proliferation but must also take into account the important environmental, energy, economic and research applications of nuclear technology.

The Conference believes that nuclear material, equipment and technology should be supplied only to NNWS that have all their peaceful nuclear activities under IAEA safeguards and are in full compliance with their nuclear nonproliferation obligations, including safeguards.

Europe is equally responsible for advancing research on more secure technologies, particularly a fourth generation of nuclear reactor technology.

Its primary role in the promotion of peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology needs to be re emphasized.

Current national legislation in this area ensures the strictly peaceful use of nuclear energy and associated equipment and technology.
