USSP Priorities(updated May 2007)

Quality Management Human Resources and Training Destructive Analysis Containment and Surveillance Safeguards Concepts and Implementation Information Technology, Collection, and Analysis


Destructive Analysisto be updated with 2007 info

Strengthen the IAEA’s ability to use destructive analysis, particularly environmental sample analysis, as a safeguards tool

SAL Feasibility Study Information Management System Upgrade Staff to support Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy


Human Resources and Trainingto be updated with 2007 info

Ensure an appropriate mixture of regular staff and extrabudgetary experts who are qualified to meet the IAEA’s technical needs.

Strengthened recruitment of US citizens for SGs posts

Provide appropriate training to improve the technical basis and specific skills needed to perform their job functions.

Development of New Courses (Mostly Inspector Related) Curriculum re-engineering Redefinition of the role of SG inspectors


Quality Management Activitiesto be updated with 2007 info

Support the implementation of a comprehensive QMS that will provide sound safeguards conclusions

Cross-functional quality management program Life cycle approach to equipment management Quality assurance and quality control Continual process improvement Product quality improvement ISO 9001 (CFE Provided)


Containment and Surveillanceto be updated with 2007 info

Maintain or improve the reliability and cost-effectiveness of C/S systems for IAEA safeguards; expand the number of systems that are UNARM; and develop verification methods that help streamline the on-site inspection processes.
