Act No. 15,809 of 21 April 1986 established the National Office of Nuclear Technology (now called the National Office of Nuclear Energy and Technology), whose tasks are to plan, coordinate and conduct activities to promote nuclear technology and regulations, inspections, licensing, authorizations and control of nuclear technology applications and the use of ionizing radiation.

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.

Today, this promise remains unfulfilled. Development of nuclear technology has stagnated, with nuclear power plants still using technology developed a half century ago.amp 160

Establishment of the National Office of Nuclear Technology

Report of the National Office of Nuclear Energy and 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.

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.

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

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.

How have other countries reacted? France, which is around 80 dependent on nuclear energy, and is a big exporter of nuclear plant technology, initially avoided most of the global anti nuclear concerns.

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.

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.

However, the Agency required sufficient human and financial resources to meet the objectives set forth in the Treaty and in its Statute, whether in the areas of nuclear non proliferation, cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, nuclear disarmament, nuclear technology, nuclear safety and security or nuclear verification.

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.

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.

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.

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

While Singapore supported efforts to help countries reap the benefits of harnessing the peaceful use of nuclear technology it was vital to ensure that non proliferation and safeguards commitments in relation to peaceful nuclear technology transfer and technical cooperation activities were carried out in strict compliance with international standards on nuclear safety and security.

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.

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 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.

In spite of the increasing uncertainty of the Hinkley Point Nuclear Power Station project, there is no doubt about China's high level and sophisticated experience in nuclear power 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.

Ri Yong Ho told the world body's annual General Assembly that North Korea had taken significant goodwill measures in the past year, such as stopping nuclear and missiles tests, dismantling the nuclear test site, and pledging not to proliferate nuclear weapons and nuclear technology.

By Act No. 15,809 of 21 April 1986, articles 1 and 340, the National Office of Nuclear Technology was established, and will be in charge of carrying out the subprogramme on promotion of nuclear technology under Programme 012 on research on the use of atomic energy.

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.

The illicit trade related to WMDs, in particular in highly sensitive nuclear equipment and technology, is of serious concern.

Australia called again upon India, Pakistan and Israel to accede to the Treaty as non nuclear weapon States and to ensure strict controls on their nuclear materials, equipment, technology and knowledge.

If the global community accepted that the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology were essential to the world's health, environment and social and economic development, it must ensure that a framework was in place that would effectively prevent the military applications of nuclear technology from leading to self destruction.

Recognizing the importance of preventing terrorists from acquiring or developing nuclear weapons or related materials, radioactive materials, equipment and technology,

Some powerful States practise a discriminatory approach against access by NPT States parties to material, equipment, and peaceful nuclear technology.

In addition to electricity generation, nuclear technology may help tackle some old as well as contemporary development challenges that we confront.

The opportunity to put the nuclear fuel cycle under multinational control was missed 60 years ago because of the Cold War. The spread of nuclear technology and the growing risk of nuclear terrorism make it imperative that we get it right this time.

We applaud the Agency's continued fulfilment of this role as a catalyst for development of nuclear technology by the developing countries and as an agent for maintaining the safe use of nuclear energy.
