Inspections of undeclared activities and facilities: NPT

Journal Article · · Michigan Journal of International Law
OSTI ID:426068
There are two principal means to obtain access to unsafeguarded facilities and activities. First, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could invoke its {open_quotes}special inspection{close_quotes} authority. There is controversy as to whether a broad interpretation of the IAEA`s special inspection rights permits special inspections of undeclared sites or whether States Parties may refuse to grant access to these sites. Second, SAGSI has suggested that {open_quotes}extended access{close_quotes} inspections of undeclared sites and undeclared areas within declared sites be implemented supplemental to the IAEA`s right of special inspection. This approach, possibly pursuant to a new model arrangement between the IAEA and States Parties, could proceed with less firm evidence of non-compliance than required for special inspections.
