The Safeguards Implementation Report for 2019
Report by the Director General
IAEA, May 2020

Summary for 2019 
 One  comprehensive  safeguards  agreement  and  two  additional  protocols  entered  into  
force. Four operational small quantities protocols were amended.
 For one State for which the Secretariat had previously  drawn the broader conclusion that 
all nuclear material in the State remained in peaceful activities, the Secretariat was unable 
to draw that conclusion for that State for 2019.
 The  Agency continued to verify and  monitor the  nuclear-related commitments of the Islamic 
Republic of Iran under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
 The Agency continued to monitor developments in the DPRK’s nuclear programme, evaluate all 
safeguards relevant information available to it, and enhance the Agency’s readiness to play
its essential role in verifying the DPRK’s nuclear programme.
 The  Agency  developed  a  State-level  safeguards  approach  for  one  State  and  started  
the implementation of integrated safeguards in that State. This brings the total number of 
States with comprehensive  safeguards  agreement  for  which  State-level  safeguards  
approaches  have  been developed to 131. These 131 States hold 97% of all nuclear material 
(by significant quantity) under Agency safeguards in States with a comprehensive safeguards 
agreement.
 Internal  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  safeguards  implementation  was  enhanced  
through expanded peer reviews of annual implementation plans and State evaluation reports.
 The  Agency  started  to  develop  a  new  initiative  to  assist  States  to  strengthen  
and  sustain  the effectiveness of State and regional authorities responsible for safeguards 
implementation and of their respective systems of accounting for and control of nuclear 
material.
 The Agency started to develop a comprehensive integrated lifecycle management system for the 
responsible and sustainable management of assets in the Department of Safeguards. 
 The  Agency  enhanced  its  business  continuity  and  disaster  recovery  processes  to  
ensure  the continuation of critical business and the availability of information during a 
disruptive event. 
 The Agency began a project aimed at the procurement, commissioning and calibrationof a new 
Large Geometry Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer to sustain analysis capabilities in the area 
of particle analysis for uranium isotopes
