Abstract: The U.S. Additional Protocol requires the United States to declare to the IAEA a number of commercial nuclear and nuclear-related items, materials, and activities that may be used for peaceful nuclear purposes, but also would be necessary elements for a nuclear weapons program. The declaration submitted under the Additional Protocol will provide the IAEA with information about additional aspects of the U.S. commercial nuclear fuel cycle, including: mining and milling of nuclear materials; buildings on sites of facilities selected by the IAEA from the U.S. Eligible Facilities List; nuclear-related equipment manufacturing, assembly, or construction; import and export of nuclear and nuclear-related items and materials; research and development not involving nuclear material; and other nuclear material activities not currently subject to the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreement. The Protocol also expands IAEA access to locations where these activities occur.
