Overview

This exploratory study analyzes technology development in IAEA safeguards, pinpointing complexities and friction points in the knowledge infrastructure.

Key Points

The aim is to explore the complexities and friction points in the development of IAEA safeguards technology through a collaborative lens.
Analyzed the Member-State-Support Programme (MSSP) of the IAEA.
Utilized a four-level framework focusing on technology, organization, classification processes, and institutional aspects.
Conducted a literature review and exploratory interviews with IAEA staff and other stakeholders.
Highlighted the complexities driving safeguards technology development beyond technical constraints.
Identified friction points within the safeguards' knowledge infrastructure that influence decision-making.
Presented a heuristic tool for better understanding and addressing these friction points.
