Kazakhstan Signs IAEA Additional Protocol

Kazakhstan Friday signed the Additional Protocol to its International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards agreement, which will allow the IAEA to conduct more intrusive monitoring of Kazakh nuclear activities (see GSN, Feb. 2).

“Kazakhstan’s signing [of] this important international document has once again shown the Kazakh leadership’s firm adherence to nuclear nonproliferation principles and prevention of the further spread of nuclear weapons,” the Kazakh Foreign Ministry said (Interfax/BBC Monitoring, Feb. 9).
