INMM International Safeguards Division status report

Sonnier, C.S.; Case, R.S.; Ek, P.

In July 1990 the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management (INMM) [open quotes]International Safeguards Subcommittee[close quotes], an arm of the INMM [open quotes]Safeguards Committee[close quotes], held its first meeting, which was devoted principally to organizational matters. The goal of this organization is to promote International Safeguards as a major tool of Non Proliferation polices. Within the framework of the INMM, it has the responsibility to provide a forum for exchange of information related to further development of selected aspects of International Safeguards, and to enhance a broader understanding of these topics. A second meeting of this [open quotes]Subcommittee[close quotes] was held at the 1991 INMM Annual Meeting. In November 1991, the INMM reorganized into [open quotes]Divisions[close quotes], with the establishment of the [open quotes]International Safeguards and Non Proliferation Division[close quotes] (IS NP). From November 1991, the IS NP Division met two times, once in Europe and once in the USA. In October 1992, further reorganization of the INMM led to establishment of the [open quotes]International Safeguards Division[close quotes] (ISD) which, under the new designation, has met two times, once in Europe and once in Japan. This paper presents the purpose, objectives, results of past meetings, and future plans of the ISD.
