What has the NWS done so far (prior to the current Review Cycle)?

In 1983, France established the French Support Programme for IAEA safeguards (PFSG), which provides for technology transfer, financial contributions and expert advice to the IAEA Department of Safeguards. The PFSG is coordinated by the CEA International Relations Division. In addition to CEA, the programme also involves other French stakeholders: EDF, the Ministry of the Armed Forces/Nuclear Defence and Security Expertise Division (DEND) (formerly IRSN), the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, and Orano in particular. Under the programme, training activities for the Agency (for example on the fuel cycle and enrichment processes), including regular visits to French sites, participation in the Agency’s analyses, including interlaboratory comparisons. France has provided other exceptional contributions, in particular 1 million euros allocated between 2020 and 2022 to support the refurbishment of the LG-SIMS mass spectrometer. The European Commission also supports IAEA nuclear safeguards.
