Preface

Nuclear non-proliferation remains firmly in the focus of public debate, nationally,


regionally and on a global level. While some issues are highly disputed and the
role of law may be seen as ineffective and weak in relation to the questions to be
solved, international law continues to play a distinct role and makes a relevant
contribution in providing an enforceable regulatory framework for securing safety
and security in this important area. Treaty law and evolving customary principles
and rules may be used to balance diverging interests and protect the needs of peo-
ples and individuals that would otherwise remain subject to arbitrary authority and
decision-making. The important task of securing non-proliferation of nuclear
weapons, to ensure the safety and security of peaceful uses of nuclear energy and
to achieve nuclear disarmament under strict and effective international control,
calls for the interpretation and application of international legal rules in their rele-
vant context, a task that this book series endeavours to facilitate. Volume I,1 which
started with an exposé of relevant legal issues and international concerns,
addressed a variety of critical questions that require strict and full application of
rules stemming from more than one field of international law. Volume II2 was ded-
icated to an in-depth review of controversial aspects of verification and compli-
ance. It assisted to further develop international consensus on critical issues of law
application that remains essential, both from a theoretical perspective and from the
practices of States and international organizations. The positive reception of both
Volumes underlines the need for continued efforts in this field, in order to explore
such issues further.
The present Volume focuses on Legal Aspects of the Use of Nuclear Energy for
Peaceful Purposes. The main body of contributions presented are the results of a
research conference held in Cologne from 19 to 20 November 2015. This follows

in the tradition of gathering relevant experts to discuss areas pertinent to nuclear


weapons, non-proliferation and contemporary international law through the
Nuclear Round Table series, which have already lead to two comprehensive
Reports, presented at the last two conferences of the International Law Association
(Washington 20143 and Johannesburg 20164). The Cologne conference provided
an excellent forum for exchange of expertise and in-depth discussion of controver-
sial issues of nuclear safety and security. It also offered an opportunity for a com-
prehensive legal evaluation of the 2015 Nuclear Accord with Iran and its
implementation, a vital topic that is also reflected in this Volume.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Prof. Kerstin Odendahl,
Executive Director of the Walther Schücking Institute of International Law
at the University of Kiel, for co-organizing this event in conjunction with the
ILA Committee on Nuclear Weapons, Non-Proliferation and Contemporary
International Law and the Nuclear Round Table series. We are particularly
indebted to the Fritz Thyssen Foundation for again supporting the event, and in
particular to Dr. Thomas Suermann and his team for hosting our conference
in a highly professional and forthcoming manner that has greatly supported our
activities.
Special acknowledgement is again due to our peer reviewers who have offered
their critical advice, encouragement and invaluable suggestions. As all co-authors
appreciated the double anonymous review process, we may express our sincere
gratitude on behalf of all of them.
TMC Asser Press/Springer has helped to secure the publication of this book
series in a very diligent and effective manner. We would like to thank Philip van
Tongeren, Frank Bakker and their team for their interest, outstanding diligence and
encouragement.

Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and Its
Interrelationship with Nuclear Non-
proliferation and Disarmament

Jonathan L. Black-Branch and Dieter Fleck

Abstract The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is based on three equally


important pillars: non-proliferation of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explo-
sive devices; the development and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes;
and disarmament. Because of the strong interrelationship between these different
objectives, none of them can be examined in isolation. This Chapter explores this
interrelationship, focussing on the key issues of peaceful uses, i.e. safety and secu-
rity of nuclear material and facilities. It provides a précis of tasks and activities
towards this end, considers the relevant roles of nation States and the International
Atomic Energy Agency, and ultimately presents some conclusions for interna-
tional cooperation in this sensitive field where political discussion too often domi-
nates over legal analysis.

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.

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

1978 (Public Law 83–703, 68 Stat. 919 83rd Congress), http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1327/


ML13274A489.pdf.
4 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (1 July 1968) 729 UNTS 161.
5 Article IX(3) NPT states that, ‘a nuclear-weapon State is one which has manufactured and

exploded a nuclear weapon or other nuclear explosive device prior to January 1, 1967’.

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.’
