The International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) is an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and to inhibit its use for any military purpose, including nuclear weapons.

During 1956, an IAEA Statute Conference was held to draft the founding documents for the IAEA, and the IAEA Statute was completed at a conference in 1957.

Mr. Cole served only one term, after which the IAEA was headed by two Swedes for nearly four decades: the scientist Sigvard Eklund held the job from 1961 to 1981, followed by former Swedish Foreign Minister Hans Blix, who served from 1981 to 1997.

On July 2, 2009, Mr. Yukiya Amano of Japan was elected as the Director General for the IAEA, defeating Abdul Samad Minty of South Africa and Luis E. Echávarri ‎ of Spain.

The IAEA executes this mission with three main functions: the inspection of existing nuclear facilities to ensure their peaceful use, providing information and developing standards to ensure the safety and security of nuclear facilities, and as a hub for the various fields of science involved in the peaceful applications of nuclear technology.

In 2004, the IAEA developed a Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy ( PACT ).

The Board, in its five yearly meetings, is responsible for making most of the policy of the IAEA.

The Board makes recommendations to the General Conference on IAEA activities and budget, is responsible for publishing IAEA standards and appoints the Director General subject to General Conference approval ( IAEA Fundamentals 2005 ).

The IAEA ’ s role " as an advocate for nuclear power has made it a target for protests ".

The journal Nature has reported that the IAEA response to the Fukushima I nuclear accidents in Japan was " sluggish and sometimes confusing ", drawing calls for the agency to " take a more proactive role in nuclear safety ".

In June 2011, the IAEA chief said he had " broad support for his plan to strengthen international safety checks on nuclear power plants to help avoid any repeat of Japan's Fukushima crisis ".

If the Board recommends approval, and the General Conference approves the application for membership, the State must then submit its instrument of acceptance of the IAEA Statute to the United States, which functions as the depositary Government for the IAEA Statute.

The Department of Technical Cooperation provides direct assistance to IAEA Member States, through national, regional, and inter-regional projects through training, expert missions, scientific exchanges, and provision of equipment.

Many University staff members serve on the boards of international professional and scientific associations or are invited to act as advisers by the WHO and IAEA.

In October 1965, as Foreign Minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto visited Vienna where nuclear engineer Munir Ahmad Khan working at a senior technical post at the IAEA, informed him of the status of Indian nuclear programme and the options Pakistan had to develop its own nuclear capability.

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s Units 3 and 4, originally licensed for operation until 2011 and 2013, respectively, underwent substantial safety improvements and, after rigorous inspections, received positive reviews from the IAEA in 2002, and from the World Association of Nuclear Operators ( WANO ) in the following year, concluding that " no technical reasons exist for the early closure of units 3 & 4 ".

After the passing of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441, which demanded that Iraq give " immediate, unconditional and active cooperation " with UN and IAEA inspections, Hussein allowed U. N. weapons inspectors led by Hans Blix to return to Iraq.

* July – Iraq disarmament crisis: Iraq threatens to end all cooperation with UNSCOM and IAEA, if sanctions against the country are not lifted by August 31.

Iraq was alternately praised and admonished by the IAEA for its cooperation and lack thereof.

In response to diminishing Iraqi cooperation with UNSCOM, the United States called for withdrawal of all UN and IAEA inspectors in 1998, resulting in Operation Desert Fox.

Inspections by the UN to resolve the status of unresolved disarmament questions restarted from November 2002 until March 2003, under UN Security Council Resolution 1441, which demanded Saddam give " immediate, unconditional and active cooperation " with UN and IAEA inspections, shortly before his country was attacked.

The IAEA report by Mohamed El Baradei stated that Iraq " has provided the necessary level of cooperation to enable ... activities to be completed efficiently and effectively ".

* Iraq threatens to end all cooperation with UNSCOM and IAEA, if sanctions are not lifted by August 31, 1995 August 1995

* The United Nations Security Council passes Resolution 1205 demanding Iraq rescind its decision to cease cooperation with UNSCOM and restrict the activities of the IAEA

In cooperation with the National Nuclear Energy Agency ( Batan ) and International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ), Universitas Indonesia will have a medical physics center at Depok, West Java campus, which will be operated in 2012 as cancer treatment center.

Iran rejected the details of the report and accused the IAEA of pro-Western bias and threatened to reduce its cooperation with the IAEA.

The programs of the IAEA encourage the development of the peaceful applications of nuclear technology, provide international safeguards against misuse of nuclear technology and nuclear materials, and promote nuclear safety ( including radiation protection ) and nuclear security standards and their implementation.

The IAEA exists to pursue the " safe, secure and peaceful uses of nuclear sciences and technology " ( Pillars 2005 ).

Article II of the IAEA Statute defines the Agency's twin objectives as promoting peaceful uses of atomic energy and "< nowiki > ensur </ nowiki >, so far as it is able, that assistance provided by it or at its request or under its supervision or control is not used in such a way as to further any military purpose.

* AIEA or IAEA, International Atomic Energy Agency, an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and to inhibit its use for any military purpose, including nuclear weapons.

After the IAEA Board of Governors reported Iran's noncompliance with its safeguards agreement to the UN Security Council, the Council demanded that Iran suspend its nuclear enrichment activities while Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has argued that the sanctions are " illegal ," imposed by " arrogant powers ," and that Iran has decided to pursue the monitoring of its self-described peaceful nuclear program through " its appropriate legal path ," the International Atomic Energy Agency.

In an open breach with White House policy, they argued that the multilateral diplomacy pursued by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was encouraging the Iranians to snub the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) and develop a nuclear bomb under cover of a peaceful energy program.

As a result, the IAEA was satisfied that South Africa's nuclear programme had been converted to peaceful applications.

The Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications focuses on the use of non-power nuclear and isotope techniques to help IAEA Member States in the areas of water, energy, health, biodiversity, and agriculture.

The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization ( FAO ) has passed a motion to commit member states to implement irradiation technology for their national phytosanitary programs ; the General assembly of the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) has urged wider use of the irradiation technology.

A 2003 publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) provides a detailed description of tracer use, confirms the frequent use of most of the tracers above, and says that Manganese-56, Sodium-24, Technetium-m, Silver-m, Argon-41, and Xenon-133 are also used extensively because they are easily identified and measured.

The explosives, classified as " dual use " materials, had been sealed by the IAEA, and reported 18 months earlier.

The International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) classifies the degree of " passive safety " of components from category A to D depending on what the system does not make use of:

As a result of political pressure from the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ), research reactors are no longer allowed to use highly enriched uranium fuel because of its potential use for the production of nuclear weapons.

On 30 March 2005 Saeedi said “ IAEA inspectors visit ( Natanz, a uranium enrichment ) facility at least once a month and also use a monitoring system to check the suspension .”< sup ></ sup >
