Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material

The Swedish Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984 3) stipulates that license is required for nuclear activities such as i.a. the use of nuclear material, and using nuclear material without a license is criminalised.

Part III, Section 34 Demanding nuclear material by threat addresses offences relating to the Physical Protection Convention specifically demanding nuclear material by force or intimidation.

Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, and

Export of nuclear material and nuclear equipment is regulated in the Commission Regulation (EC) No.

The Swedish Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984 3) stipulates that license is required for nuclear activities such as i.a. the production, transport and storage of nuclear material, and such handling with nuclear material without a license is criminalised.

Transport of Biological, Chemical and Nuclear Weapons and Related Material

Fourth, the international community must secure and control nuclear material.

Strengthening of State systems for nuclear material accountancy and control

This generates the heat in nuclear power reactors, and produces the fissile material for nuclear weapons.

The other is a ban on fissile material production for nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices.

By the same token, since the Indian draft resolution deals with fissile nuclear material being used to manufacture nuclear bombs, we decided to focus on other radioactive material.

These activities aimed to further enhance the capacity of Member States to protect nuclear facilities and nuclear material against nuclear terrorism.

Austria attaches great importance to a high level of physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities.

According to the Act on Nuclear Activities, nuclear installations such as power and research reactors, facilities for production, the use and storage of nuclear material, and acquisition and transfer of nuclear material in Sweden or abroad by a Swedish entity require license.

SNCC is responsible for granting licences and authorizations to work with nuclear material as well as for accounting for and controlling such material. It establishes an internal control mechanism for nuclear material and important components listed in resolution No.

Accurate accounting for nuclear materials can meet significant practical problems that increase with the amount of nuclear material.

The establishment of a subsidiary body within the Conference to begin negotiations on a non discriminatory, multilateral treaty banning the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons and other nuclear explosive devices would strengthen controls over nuclear material.

The Agency, recognizing that effective systems for nuclear material control and accountancy are essential for maintaining the security of nuclear material and combating illicit trafficking, helped Member States to ensure that all nuclear materials were properly accounted for.

Furthermore, the phenomenon of illicit trafficking in nuclear material was highly alarming.

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

Part II, Section 15 Permit not granted where nuclear material etc to be held outside nuclear facility unless Director Director General of the Australian Safeguards and Non Proliferation Office satisfied as to certain matters addresses nuclear material or associated items held otherwise than at a nuclear facility.

Part II, Section 13 Permit to possess nuclear material or associated items includes physical security, accounting for, storage, use, alteration, dispersal or disposal of nuclear material or items and communication of associated technology.

It also actively encouraged States to adhere to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and convened a number of international conferences on the security of nuclear and other radioactive material.

OCNS also undertakes vetting to establish the reliability of nuclear industry personnel with access to sensitive nuclear material or information.

France henceforth has no more facilities for the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons or other explosive nuclear devices.

18.2 Interim control, protection and accounting of nuclear weapons and fissile material holdings

Positions diverge with regard to the inclusion of existing stocks of nuclear material.

The Agency inspectors were able to verify all nuclear material subject to safeguards.

a Joint Action with the Russian Federation for the conversion of surplus nuclear weapons material into nuclear fuel for civilian use

Even countries that do not possess nuclear or other radioactive material need to act.

Japan acceded to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material in 1988

Russia terminated the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons over 10 years ago.

The world assumed for years that North Korea possesses enough nuclear material to make a half dozen or more basic nuclear bombs.

From this perspective, the FMCT, prohibiting the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons, is extremely important, not only for nuclear disarmament, but also for nuclear non proliferation.

Such a treaty would advance nuclear disarmament by capping the amount of fissile material available for nuclear weapons use and would further strengthen the barriers to leakage of fissile material both to States and, potentially, to terrorists.
