DESCRIPTION This IAEA publication is the first in a new safeguards-by-design group of publications that provides guidance on the inclusion of safeguards considerations in nuclear facility design and construction. This initial volume introduces the basic principles of safeguards by design (SBD) and discusses the goals, the costs and rewards, and places the information into the context of nuclear facility design and construction. Benefits and opportunities for all stakeholders are emphasized. The guidance is aimed at enhancing the understanding of nuclear facility vendors and designers regarding the safeguards obligations of both the State and the IAEA, at improving the cooperation between all stakeholders in safeguards implementation, and in minimizing the cost of implementation for all stakeholders.
