Description
The Year 2000 problem poses major technical challenges to computer systems. For that reason it has drawn considerable attention over the past four years at the IAEA and within the international safeguards community of States and organisations. Actions of IAEA are very close to completion for the conversion of al related systems to make them Y2K compliant. As a result of IAEA past work and continuing liaison with Member States, the following needs were identified: organizing assistance and/or training to help states evaluate existing accounting software, and upgrade it or develop new Y2K compliant software; providing Y2K compliant software when needed; providing guidance and assistance on physical protection issues; organizing assistance missions visiting a state encountering problems; establishing contingency plans
