Yukiya Amano: One year in
Article Highlights
- Over the past year, the IAEA and Director General Yukiya Amano faced three major challenges: promoting the peaceful use of nuclear energy while strengthening nonproliferation, improving nuclear safeguards at a time when Iran was expanding its nuclear energy program, and ensuring nuclear security and safety in an era of a nuclear growth.
- The IAEA has already shifted focus under Amano -- the tone of the agency's reports on Iran has become harsher, while the emphasis on technical cooperation has become stronger.
- The IAEA, as well as the broader nonproliferation community, would benefit from a specific outline of Amano's intended activities to ensure united support from nuclear and non-nuclear weapons states.
