A set of technical measures that are applied on nuclear material and activities, […] to independently verify that nuclear facilities are not misused and nuclear material is not diverted from peaceful uses (IAEA definition).

• Safeguards are supported by a variety of different agencies, including the IAEA, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), and other domestic multinational agencies (ie. The Brazilian-Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear materials (ABACC)). This module will focus on safeguards from an IAEA perspective.
