China’s Two-Track Approach to Christianity: Vatican vs. Wenzhou

China’s Two-Track Approach to Christianity: Vatican vs. Wenzhou
By David Volodzko and Thomas Sesin
Beijing and the Holy See are ostensibly as close to establishing diplomatic relations as they have been in over 60 years; yet, little has changed for mainland Chinese Christians. As Beijing turns the screws of ideological authority, those advocating for religious freedom must learn to coax the government out of its defensive stance. If successful, it could change the very nature of what it means to be Christian in China.

IAEA Presents Update on Safeguards Activities to Diplomats in New York

IAEA Presents Update on Safeguards Activities to Diplomats in New York

On 8 May 2015 delegates gathered on the sidelines of the 2015 Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non‑Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) at United Nations headquarters in New York to learn more about IAEA activities from 2010 to 2015 that are relevant to Article III of the NPT.
Article III of the Treaty deals with safeguards, specifically noting that: "Each Non-Nuclear-Weapon State undertakes to accept safeguards... for the exclusive purpose of verification of the fulfilment of its obligations... with a view to preventing diversion of nuclear energy from peaceful uses to nuclear weapons or other explosive devices."
Eric Pujol, Advisor to the IAEA Deputy Director General with responsibility for the Department of Safeguards, gave the presentation, which highlighted some of the key challenges that will need to be addressed in the future. In the rapidly changing global nuclear landscape, more nuclear facilities and material are coming under IAEA safeguards, facilities undergoing decommissioning may involve a larger safeguards effort, many older nuclear power plants are being modernized and new facilities are becoming more technologically sophisticated. In short, demands on the IAEA's system of safeguards are growing and becoming more complex.
The presentation also looked into ways in which the IAEA addresses these challenges.
Pujol also spoke about the key legal agreements and guidance documents used in the application of safeguards in the IAEA's 164 Member States. He concluded with details of the strategies being employed to enhance productivity, noting that "success can only be achieved with states' political, technical and financial support."
Previously, the IAEA held a High-Level Event on the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Technology on 27 April, a discussion on the implementation of the IAEA Nuclear Security Plan 2014-2017 on 29 April, and a discussion about the implementation of the IAEA Action Plan on Nuclear Safety on 1 May.
The IAEA is also holding an exhibition throughout the duration of the Review Conference highlighting its activities relevant to the implementation of the NPT.

IAEA Delivers Major Report on Fukushima Accident to Member States

IAEA Delivers Major Report on Fukushima Accident to Member States

Vienna – The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today provided its Member States with a report by Director General Yukiya Amano on the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, as part of continuous efforts to strengthen nuclear safety worldwide.
The 240-page report assesses the causes and consequences of the accident triggered by a huge tsunami that followed a massive earthquake on 11 March 2011. It was the worst emergency at a nuclear plant since the Chernobyl disaster a quarter of a century earlier.
Based on data and information from many sources, the report is the result of a collaboration of more than two years involving some 180 experts from 42 Member States and several international bodies.
“The report considers human, organizational and technical factors and aims to provide an understanding of what happened, and why, so that the necessary lessons learned can be acted upon by governments, regulators and nuclear power plant operators throughout the world,” Mr Amano said in a foreword.
“There can be no grounds for complacency about nuclear safety in any country.”
The report also examines measures that were taken in response to the emergency, in Japan and internationally, to prevent future accidents and, should they occur, mitigate the effects. Some of the factors that contributed to the Fukushima Daiichi accident were not unique to Japan.
Mr Amano announced in 2012 that that the IAEA would prepare the report as “an authoritative, factual and balanced assessment, addressing the causes and consequences of the accident, as well as lessons learned”. Work on the report started in early 2013.
The IAEA’s Board of Governors will consider the report at their next regular meeting in June, before its planned subsequent release at the 59th session of the Agency’s General Conference in September, the annual gathering of IAEA Member States.
It draws on five detailed technical volumes being prepared by international experts and on the contributions of the many experts and international bodies involved.
In the foreword, Mr Amano said the immense human impact should not be forgotten. More than 100,000 people were evacuated because of the release of radionuclides to the environment, and many are still unable to return home.
“I visited the Fukushima Daiichi plant a few months after the accident and saw for myself the powerful and destructive impact of the tsunami. It was a shocking and sobering experience,” he said.
Mr Amano said a major factor that contributed to the emergency was a widespread assumption in Japan that its nuclear power plants were so safe that an accident of such a magnitude was simply unthinkable.
“This assumption was accepted by nuclear plant operators and was not challenged by regulators or by the government,” he said. “As a result, Japan was not sufficiently prepared for a severe nuclear accident in March 2011.”
It also exposed certain weaknesses in Japan’s regulatory framework. “Responsibilities were divided among a number of bodies and it was not always clear where authority lay,” Mr Amano said.
“There were also certain  weaknesses in plant design, in emergency preparedness and response arrangements and in planning for the management of a severe accident,” he said, adding that insufficient provision had been made for the possibility of a nuclear accident happening at the same time as a large natural disaster.
Mr Amano also highlighted significant steps to improve nuclear safety that were taken after the disaster.
Japan has reformed its regulatory system, giving regulators clearer responsibilities and greater authority. Emergency preparedness and response arrangements have been strengthened.
Other countries have carried out “stress tests” to reassess the design of nuclear power plants against site specific extreme natural hazards, installed additional backup sources of electrical power and supplies of water, and bolstered the protection of plants against extreme external events.
Half a year after the accident, Member States unanimously endorsed an IAEA Action Plan on Nuclear Safety, with a comprehensive work programme to reinforce safety internationally. It covers peer reviews, emergency preparedness and response, regulatory frameworks, remediation and decommissioning, capacity building, as well as the protection of people and the environment.
“I am confident that the legacy of the Fukushima Daiichi accident will be a sharper focus on nuclear safety everywhere,” Mr Amano said. “I have seen improvements in safety measures and procedures in every nuclear power plant that I have visited.”
The IAEA, which provided technical support and expertise to Japan after the accident and shared information about the crisis with the world, has improved its own arrangements for nuclear emergency response, Mr Amano said.
The Agency’s role has been expanded to include providing analysis of a nuclear emergency’s potential consequences and presenting possible scenarios on how it could develop. It has also strengthened its peer review programme, under which international expert teams advise countries on how to improve nuclear safety.
Although nuclear safety remains the responsibility of individual countries, the accident underlined the importance of effective international cooperation. “The IAEA is where most of that cooperation takes place,” Mr Amano said.
