The Protocol Reporter was developed by the IAEA to assist Member States in the creation and preparation of declarations pursuant to articles 2 and 3 of the Additional Protocol.  The most recent version (2.0), released in December of 2008, contains several new features.  It is a desktop (standalone) tool that allows users to systematically identify and input data on AP declarable activities and facilities as well as to prepare a complete declaration for submission to the IAEA.  Some important features include:

• The ability to create new (or import existing) declaration templates based upon the Model AP, and Nuclear Weapons States (NWS), or to develop customized templates.
• The ability to create, edit, and delete declarations.
• The ability to include references to file attachments.
• The ability to export and import entire submissions.
• The ability to migrate Protocol Reporter version 1.0 data into Protocol Reporter version 2.0.

The Protocol Reporter installation disc includes an excellent user’s manual that goes into detail about the features and functionality of the tool. Rather than repeat that information, this document will provide a broad overview of the terms and concepts associated with the Reporter and provide an abbreviated reference on how to perform some of the most commonly used functions.
