Implementation of the NPT Safeguards
Agreement in the Islamic Republic of Iran

Report by the Director General

1. A meeting of the Board of Governors was held from 2 to 4 February 2006 to 
discuss the implementation of the Agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran 
(hereinafter referred to as Iran) and the Agency for the Application of Safeguards 
in connection with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. (1)
The meeting was called in response to the announcement by Iran of its decision 
to resume from 9 January 2006 “R&D activities on the peaceful nuclear energy
programme which has been suspended as part of its expanded voluntary and 
non-legally binding suspension. (2)

2. On 4 February 2006, the Board of Governors adopted a resolution 
(GOV/2006/14) in paragraph 1 of which it, inter alia, underlined that outstanding 
questions can best be resolved and confidence built in the exclusively peaceful 
nature of Iran’s programme by Iran responding positively to the calls for 
confidence building measures which the Board has made on Iran, and in this 
context deemed it necessary for Iran to:

• re-establish full and sustained suspension of all enrichment related and 
reprocessing activities, including research and development, to be verified 
by the Agency;

• reconsider the construction of a research reactor moderated by heavy water;

• ratify promptly and implement in full the Additional Protocol;

• pending ratification, continue to act in accordance with the provisions of 
the Additional Protocol which Iran signed on 18 December 2003;

• implement transparency measures, as requested by the Director General, 
including in GOV/2005/67, which extend beyond the formal requirements of 
the Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, and include such access 
to individuals, documentation relating to procurement, dual use equipment, 
certain military-owned workshops and research and development as the 
Agency may require in support of its ongoing investigations.
