ZONE APPROACHES TO INTERNATIONAL SAFEGUARDS OF A NUCLEAR FUEL CYCLE.

At present the IAEA designs its safeguards approach with regard to each type of nuclear facility so that the safeguards activities and effort are essentially the same for a given type and size of nuclear facility wherever it may be located. We have examined safeguards approaches for a State nuclear fuel cycle that take into account the existence of all of the nuclear facilities in the State. We have focussed on the fresh-fuel zone of an advanced nuclear fuel cycle, the several facilities which use or process low-enriched uranium.
