1.1 Introduction
Post World War II countries around the world explored their nuclear technological
options regarding both weapons as well as peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Early
attempts to dissuade States from developing nuclear weapons were viewed sceptically
as placing restrictions on their ability to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purpose.
President Eisenhower’s famous ‘Atoms for Peace’ speech in 19531 was a US concilia-
tory attempt to rein in nuclear ambitions following its earlier failure regarding non-
proliferation efforts. Indeed, the earlier Atomic Energy Act, passed by U.S. Congress
in 1946,2 included provisions designed to keep nuclear technology secret from other
countries, provisions that were later replaced by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954.3 The
‘Atoms for Peace’ plan would provide assistance to other countries in the peaceful
uses of atomic energy. That said, a comprehensive international agreement was neces-
sary to effectively tackle the growing conundrum of States wanting to develop nuclear
energy on the one hand and the international community wishing to address a grow-
ing concern relating to non-proliferation and disarmament on the other.
The adoption of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)4 was heralded as a
progressive step in this regard. Under the NPT the United States, Russia, the United
Kingdom, France and China are recognized as nuclear-weapon States.5 They under-
take ‘not to transfer to any recipient whatsoever nuclear weapons …’ (Article I),
while all other State Parties undertake ‘not to receive the transfer … of nuclear
weapons …; not to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons …; … not to
seek or receive any assistance in the manufacture of nuclear weapons …’ (Article
1 Eisenhower 1953.
2 Atomic Energy Act of 1946 (Public Law 585, 70th Congress), https://www.osti.gov/atomic-
energyact.pdf, inter alia Sections 5, 7 and 10.
3 Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, inter alia, by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of
exploded a nuclear weapon or other nuclear explosive device prior to January 1, 1967’.
1 Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and Its Interrelationship … 3
II); and ‘to accept safeguards’ (Article III). All Parties undertake to facilitate cooper-
ation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy (Article IV) and ‘to pursue negotiations
in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at
an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a Treaty on general and complete
disarmament under strict and effective international control’ (Article VI).
The Treaty is thus based on three central pillars. The first pillar requires non-
proliferation of nuclear arms or other nuclear explosive devices; the second pillar,
which will be the primary focus of this Volume, ensures the inalienable right of all
Parties to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful pur-
poses; the third pillar requires effective measures towards disarmament. These three
pillars are inherently intertwined: As expected by the negotiating States, access to
peaceful uses of the atom without discrimination and peaceful nuclear coopera-
tion between States would support compliance with non-proliferation obligations,
compliance with the Treaty obligations on nuclear disarmament would increase the
effectiveness of nuclear non-proliferation, and cooperative activities would ensure
security and safety of the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The present state of nuclear energy underlines the relevance of these complex
interrelationships on a global level. It also reveals continuing challenges for States
in fulfilling their respective obligations regarding nuclear safety and security. This
task is complex and demanding. As defined by the IAEA, nuclear safety comprises
‘the achievement of proper operating conditions, prevention of accidents and miti-
gation of accident consequences, resulting in protection of workers, the public and
the environment from undue radiation hazards;’ nuclear security is ‘the prevention
and detection of, and response to, theft, sabotage, unauthorized access, illegal
transfer or other malicious acts involving nuclear material, other radioactive sub-
stances or their associated facilities’. Yet, at least in IAEA practice, an exact dis-
tinction between the general terms safety and security does not exist. There are
borderline issues and significant overlap and synergy effects in the maintenance of
nuclear safety and security.6 This is well illustrated by the following figure:7
6 See IAEA 2007. As noted in this Glossary, there is ‘not an exact distinction between the gen-
eral terms safety and security.—In general, security is concerned with malicious or negligent
actions by humans that could cause or threaten harm to other humans; safety is concerned with
the broader issue of harm to humans (or the environment) from radiation, whatever the cause.
The precise interaction between security and safety depends on the context. “Safety and secu-
rity synergies” concern, for example: the regulatory infrastructure; engineering provisions in
the design and construction of nuclear installations and other facilities; controls on access to
nuclear installations and other facilities; the categorization of radioactive sources; source design;
the security of the management of radioactive sources and radioactive material; the recovery of
orphan sources; emergency response plans; and radioactive waste management.—Safety matters
are intrinsic to activities, and transparent and probabilistic safety analysis is used. Security mat-
ters concern malicious actions and are confidential, and threat based judgement is used.’
