The safeguards system of the International Atomic Energy Agency - a study of the international politics of atomic control
This thesis is a study in international politics. Its subject is the system for the control of atomic energy - the safeguards system - established and administered by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). I have undertaken a political study of this technical system because the main purpose …

The Nuclear Renaissance and Its Implications for Nonproliferation Security
… as developing states seek assistance from the International Atomic Energy Agency. I argue that the current nonproliferation regime is not prepared to adequately prevent illicit proliferation and any increase in the number of nuclear programs will exacerbate the existing nonproliferation …

Conceptual Development of Remote Monitoring System for Pressurized Water Reactor Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage Through Neutron and Gamma Transport Simulations
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) needs to enhance its capabilities for safeguarding spent nuclear fuel (SNF) stored in dry cask storage facilities and for maintaining persistent continuity of knowledge (CoK) about it. The current safeguards approach relies heavily upon containment and …
