IAEA technical co-operation: Strengthening technology transfer

摘要

While the transfer of nuclear technology takes place through various bilateral and multilateral channels, the IAEA has long served as the key international mechanism for scientific and technical co-operation in the nuclear field. Worldwide, more than 80 countries today receive IAEA-supported technical assistance, and altogether more than 1200 projects are in the IAEA' s 1995 technical co-operation programme. The underlying basis for the IAEA's work to facilitate the peaceful development of nuclear energy is its Statute, which entered into force in 1957 and sets the framework for activities.
