Michael Kelly (301-415-8137) 1.0 1 BACKGROUND Under the aegis of the U.S.
initiative for nuclear weapons safety, security, and dismantlement known as the Comprehensive
' Threat Reduction (CTR)_ Program,.the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).is engaged'in establishing bilateral technical assistance programs with Kazakhstan in the nuclear material safeguards areas of material control and accounting (MC&A) and physical' protection.- The objective of U.S. assistance is to help Kazakhstan improve its capabilities to effectively safeguard nuclear material.
The assistance will be carried out under a
-bilateral agreement for cooperation, and it.is supported by funds
-authorized by Congress in the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of fl991' (Nunn-Lugar) and successor legislation such as the Freedom Support Act of 1992.
i Until recently, regulatory programs for safeguarding nuclear material in the FSU have been virtually nonexistent.
The ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN- (AEARK) 1.s been l
established.as an independent authority for overseeing Kazakhstan nuclear safety and safeguards programs.
AEARK has acknowledged serious deficiencies in staffing and technical resources, and it has expressed strong interest in U.S. assistance.
Effective MC&A and physical protection are critical to safeguarding strategic nuclear materials in support of nonproliferation goals.
In the interest of nonproliferation, improvements are needed in national regulatory _ oversight to ensure nuclear materials in Kazakhstan are effectively protected.
The U.S._and.Kazakhstan signed an Agreement in September 1993 for j
joint cooperation in MC&A and physical protection using Nunn-
.l Lugar funds under the CTR program.
A Kazakhstan Project Plan has 1
been developed which contains certain proposed projects to be carried out in cooperation ~with AEARK and other agencies and subject to the approval of Kazakhstan's Nuclear Energy Law.
