Status of management of the items subject to nuclear cooperation agreement at KAERI

The agreements and administrative arrangements for implementing these agreements with some countries include the management of the items subject to the agreement and providing of annual report on inventory and inventory changes of the items. KAERI has been providing the annual reports on the inventory and inventory changes of the items subject to the agreement to Canada and Australia since 1980s and Japan since 2013. The annual report on US items was added after the nuclear cooperation agreement between ROK and US was revised in 2015 and an administrative arrangement was signed in 2016. ROK had managed the origin of nuclear material, but since the revision of the agreement with the US, it has replaced by the obligation instead of the origin. This paper describes the status on the management of the items subject to the bilateral agreement at KAERI. This paper reviewed the management status of the items subject to the bilateral nuclear cooperation agreement at KAERI. In particular, nuclear materials are managed using the origin management system because they have many inventory changes and are more complicated than other items.
