Abstract
One of the United States Support Program’s (USSP) priorities for 2008 is to support the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) development of an integrated and efficient safeguards information infrastructure, including reliable and maintainable information systems, and effective tools and resources to collect and analyze safeguardsrelevant information. The USSP has provided funding in support of this priority for the ISIS Re-engineering Project (IRP), and for human resources support to the design and definition of the enhanced information analysis architecture project (nVision). Assistance for several other information technology efforts is provided. This paper will report on the various ongoing support measures undertaken by the USSP to support the IAEA’s information technology enhancements and will provide some insights into activities that the USSP may support in the future.
