The following is extracted from the IAEA's Annual Report for 2000
(page 97):
In fulfilling the safeguards obligations of the Agency in
2000, the Secretariat having evaluated all the information acquired in
implementing safeguards agreements and all other information available to the
Agency found no indication of diversion of nuclear material placed under
safeguards or of misuse of facilities, equipment or non-nuclear material placed
under safeguards. On this basis, the
Secretariat concluded that the nuclear material and other items placed under
safeguards remained in peaceful nuclear activities or were otherwise adequately
accounted for.In 2000, in respect of seven States[1],
the Secretariat having evaluated all the information obtained through
activities pursuant to these States comprehensive safeguards agreements and
additional protocols as well as all other information available to the Agency
found no indication either of diversion of nuclear material placed under
safeguards or of the presence of undeclared nuclear material or activities in
those States. On this basis, the
Secretariat concluded that all nuclear material in those States had been placed
under safeguards and remained in peaceful nuclear activities or was otherwise
adequately accounted for. In the case
of the twelve other States with comprehensive safeguards agreements and
additional protocols in force, no such conclusion could so far be drawn on the
basis of the evaluation of the information available to the Agency.The Agency is still unable to verify the correctness and
completeness of the initial report of nuclear material made by the Democratic Peoples
Republic of Korea (DPRK) and is, therefore, unable to conclude that there has
been no diversion of nuclear material in that State. The DPRK remains in non-compliance with its safeguards agreement.
Although the safeguards agreement between
the DPRK and the Agency remains binding and in force, the Agency is able to
implement only some of the required safeguards measures in the DPRK. The Agency has, however, been able to
monitor the freeze on the DPRKs graphite moderated reactors and related facilities,
as requested by the United Nations Security Council and as foreseen in the
Agreed Framework of October 1994 between the United States of America and the
DPRK.
