Implementation experience of the additional protocol at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI)

The AP (additional protocol) is a legal document granting the IAEA(International Atomic Energy Agency) complementary inspection authority to assure the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities. The ROK (Republic Of Korea) signed the additional protocol in June 1999 and it entered into force in Feb. 2004 when the ROK national assembly ratified. Under the AP, KAERI has submitted the annual report on the expanded declaration to the IAEA and the IAEA has carried out the CA (complementary access) to the KAERI site since 2004. This paper describes the implementation experience of the AP at KAERI.
