The barriers required to counter the threat of proliferation of nuclear weapons are examined. The most important barriers are the nuclear weapons non-proliferation treaty, the IAEA safeguard system, and the guiding principles of the Zangger committee and the nuclear suppliers groups. The principles of monitoring for the switching of nuclear materials from peaceful to military uses are fundamental and are applicable for nuclear power based on thermal as well as fast reactors.
