Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on
the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management
IAEA International Law Series No. 1
This publication brings together in a more
convenient format the official records and other relevant documents
relating to the negotiations of the Joint Convention on the Safety
of Spent fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste
Management.
The Convention applies to spent fuel and
radioactive waste resulting from civilian nuclear reactors and
applications and to spent fuel and radioactive waste from military
or defence programmes if and when such materials are transferred
permanently to and managed within exclusively civilian programmes,
or when declared as spent fuel or radioactive waste for the purpose
of the Convention. The Convention also applies to planned and
controlled releases into the environment of liquid or gaseous
radioactive materials from related nuclear facilities.
The Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on
the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, the first legal
instrument to directly address these issues on a global scale, entered into force on 18 June 2001.
Amendment to the Convention on the Physical
Protection of Nuclear Material
IAEA International Law Series No. 2
This publication brings together in a more
convenient format the official records and other relevant documents
relating to the negotiations of the Amendment to the Convention on
the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material.
The Amendment makes it legally binding for
States Parties to protect nuclear facilities and material in
peaceful domestic use, storage and transport. It also provides for
expanded cooperation between and among states regarding rapid
measures to locate and recover stolen or smuggled nuclear material,
mitigate any radiological consequences of sabotage, and prevent and
combat related offences.
The Amendment constitutes an important
milestone in the global efforts to combat nuclear terrorism.
