Safeguards InstrumentationA Look Back

Congratulations to the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) on reaching its fiftieth anniversary: fifty years of leading andguiding the international safeguards and nonproliferation communitytoward a nuclear weapons-free world where everyone canbenefit from peaceful nuclear energy. Hard and steady workthroughout five decades, not only by the IAEA itself but also by theNonproliferation Treaty (NPT) member states, in the face of globaltensions, wars, and the constant threat of proliferation of nuclearweapons, materials, and technologies is truly a remarkable feat.
