The Zangger Committee

The Zangger Committee produced guidelines during a series of meetings in 1971 to ensure that article 3.2 could be enforced. These guidelines specifically clarified States' export commitments, for peaceful purposes, to NNWS of nuclear material and equipment suitable for use in a nuclear weapons program. A "trigger list" was created that includes source and special fissionable material and specified equipment and material especially designed or prepared for the processing, use or production of special fissionable material, whose export requires IAEA safeguards on the source or special fissionable material in question.
