The verification measures include site\ninspection (which can be <em>ad hoc<\/em>,\nregular and special), visits and continuous monitoring and evaluation. In\nessence, there are two groups of measures carried out depending on the scope of\nthe Agreement for the Application of Safeguards being in force:&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The      first group relating to the verification of the state reports on the      declared nuclear material and nuclear activities. These measures primarily      refer to the accounting of the nuclear material, supplemented by      deterrence and surveillance techniques, such as sealing and IAEA CCTV      mounting in nuclear facilities.<\/li><li>The      second group contains additional measures serving to strengthen the IAEA      inspection competence, incorporated within the Additional Protocol. The      Additional Protocol is a legally binding document that authorises the IAEA      not only to verify the site-controlled declared nuclear material, but also      guarantee nonexistence of undeclared nuclear material and nuclear      activities within the state. The Protocol broadens the IAEA\u2019s access to  the information and websites.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Additional Protocol to the Safeguards Agreements between the Republic\nof Serbia and the IAEA was concluded on 3 July 2009, which underlined the\nreadiness of our country to support the international efforts to control\nnon-proliferation of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ratification of the Protocol implies the approval of an extremely complex and comprehensive process that primarily requires adequately educated and well-trained staff, as well as adequate financial resources. Our country is currently in the process of preparing for the ratification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overview of specific measures that enter into force following the\nratification of the Additional Protocol are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Provision of information\n     by the state, and access to the IAEA\u2019a inspectors to&nbsp; the entire nuclear fuel cycle-related\n     activities, including uranium mines, fuel fabrication, fuel enrichment\n     facilities, nuclear waste sites, as well as any other sites where nuclear\n     material is or can be present.&nbsp; <\/li><li>Provision of information\n     by the state and the access to to the IAEA inspectors on short notice to\n     all facilities on the site. The additional Protocol enables the IAEA inspectors\n     to gain complementary access so as to ensure there is no undeclared\n     nuclear material, or to solve the issues of inconsistency in the information\n     that the state submits on its nuclear activities. The inspection is mostly\n     announced 24 hours in advance. However this can be shorter \u2013 at least 2\n     hours in advance \u2013 in case of access to any location on the site deemd as required\n     to verify the information on the facility design, or in case of <em>ad hoc<\/em> or routine inspections on\n     the site.&nbsp; The activities within such inspection can include visual observation;\n     collection of environmental samples; utilization of radiation detection\n     and measurement devices; application of seals and other tamper-indicating\n     devices.<\/li><li>Collection\n     of environmental samples by the IAEA in locations other than the declared\n     ones when the IAEA finds it necessary. (Wide-area environmental sampling would\n     require an approval by the IAEA\u2019s Board of Governors and the consultation\n     with the relevant state). <\/li><li>The\n     IAEA\u2019s right to make use of internationally established systems of direct\n     communications, including satellite systems and other forms of\n     telecommunication.<\/li><li>The\n     instance of accepting the designated IAEA inspectors by the state and\n     issuance of multiple\n     entry\/exit and\/or transit visas, where required, (valid for at\n     least one year) for the inspectors. <\/li><li>Provision\n     of information by the state and the IAEA\u2019s verification mechanism relating\n     to nuclear\n     fuel cycle-related research and development activities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Provision of information by the state on the fabrication and export of\nsensitive nuclear technologies, and the IAEA\u2019s verification mechanisms for the\nfabrication and import locations in the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download the brochure on the Additional Protocol here:&nbsp;Additional\nProtocol \u2013 brochure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the internet presentation Additional Protocol Implementation\nin the Republic of Serbia&nbsp;here:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dp.gov.rs\">www.dp.gov.rs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agreement for the application of safeguards and Additional Protocol The Republic of Serbia and the International Atomic Energy Agency concluded the Agreement for the Application of Safeguards in Connection with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons that entered into force on 28 December 1973 (concluded with the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international-cooperation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2634"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5046,"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2634\/revisions\/5046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.srbatom.gov.rs\/srbatomm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
