Developing and Submitting a Declaration
This module offers advice and guidance on how to identify
Additional Protocol related activities that may be declarable. A list of
potentially declarable activities is first created and further refined
to decide whether or not each activity should be reported. This process involves discussing the activity with the owners or with
the principal contacts in order to better understand the nature, objective
or outcome of the
activity. Once detailed information is obtained about the
activity, it can be inputted into the IAEA Protocol Reporter
(PR).
This module provides examples of declarations using fictional data to
demonstrate how to describe an activity and what level of detail is
appropriate. The module also addresses the internal review
process of declarations before submitting to the IAEA and the
importance of tracking the activities during the development, review,
and submittal stages of the declaration process.
The declarations examples and other relevant information on declarations can be found in the IAEA
Service Series No. 11 document, Guidelines and Format for Preparation
and Submission of Declarations Pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 of the
Model Protocol Additional to Safeguards Agreements.
