Establishment of the National Office of Nuclear Technology

The meeting recognized that nuclear non proliferation, nuclear disarmament and the peaceful uses of nuclear technology were closely interrelated.

Nuclear technology was already available on the black market.

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.

The report identified five broad areas in which to follow scientific and technological developments nuclear technology, space technology, materials technology, information technology and biotechnology.

Report of the National Office of Nuclear Energy and Technology

Although it already had an advanced nuclear technology base and nuclear industry, accession would facilitate the international exchanges of the new technology for its future development.

Although Norway does not produce nuclear energy, it fully recognizes the inalienable right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy and nuclear technology.

Ensuring the safety of nuclear installations, managing radioactive waste, promoting various applications of nuclear technology and providing technical assistance all these activities depend on the confidence that nuclear energy and technology are used exclusively for peaceful purposes.

The discovery of a sophisticated and clandestine nuclear procurement network supplying nuclear material, equipment and technology was deeply worrying.

A large part of the report contained scientific assessments of major trends in five broad fields of technological development, namely, nuclear technology, space technology, materials technology, information technology and biotechnology.

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.

Countries that possess the largest nuclear arsenals are the first to develop nuclear weapons, have conducted the largest numbers of nuclear tests and are the most advanced in nuclear weapon technology.

Of course, Japan itself already possesses both nuclear technology and solid fuel missiles.

In December 2010, Malaysia expressed interest in procuring South Korea's nuclear reactor technology.

It also assists others by supplying them with technical cooperation in the field of nuclear science and peaceful nuclear technology applications.

The spread of nuclear technology and the growing risk of nuclear terrorism make it imperative that we get it right this time.

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.

The IAEA is also key in ensuring the safe use of nuclear energy and in promoting the peaceful applications of nuclear technology.

This article explicitly rejects any suggestion that trade in nuclear technology can be unrestricted.

Other critical issues, such as general and complete disarmament, nuclear technology, nuclear weapon free zones and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, also need to be discussed and resolved.

Its key objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology...and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament.

(e) Encouraging regional programmes for cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology

Many other issues, including, inter alia, unhindered access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and security assurances to non nuclear States have remained unresolved.

Continued confidence in the Treaty required the assurance that its third core component, the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and nuclear technology, in no way contributed to proliferation of nuclear weapons.

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.

Since Nigeria was committed to the peaceful development of nuclear science and technology, any restrictions placed on the transfer of nuclear material, equipment or technology for peaceful purposes would be in violation of article III of the Treaty.

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.

Ensuring effective national nuclear security capability, including technical capacity for the detection of illicit trafficking of nuclear and radioactive materials and relevant equipment and technology.

Although there is a convergence of views regarding the dangers of nuclear arms, some countries seem to desire to acquire or retain nuclear weapons technology.

My delegation is equally concerned over reports pertaining to the so called revolution in simulated nuclear bomb technology and its implications for nuclear weapon testing.

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.

We are also disappointed that extraneous reasons are being used by some nuclear weapon States to deny the right of non nuclear 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.

While the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons offers a vital framework to halt the spread of nuclear weapons technology, it does not address the issues involved in the proliferation of missile and other military space technology.

Critics charge that the agreement undermines the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by letting India have its cake (nuclear weapons) and eat it, too (by giving it access to nuclear fuel and technology).

The IAEA has assisted countries in all aspects of the application of peaceful nuclear science and technology, from nuclear power planning and development and waste management to assistance in non nuclear power technologies.

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.
