Is it nuclear capacity? We know we have that.

These activities aimed to further enhance the capacity of Member States to protect nuclear facilities and nuclear material against nuclear terrorism.

The Russian Federation intends to double its nuclear generating capacity by 2020.

In order to phase out older nuclear units, Slovakia is increasing its nuclear generating capacity with the corresponding decrease in use of fossil fuels.

(i) A nuclear energy releasing device means any device containing nuclear material, designed or having the capacity to release nuclear energy through an uncontrolled self sustaining chain reaction process of fission

Ensuring effective national nuclear security capability, including technical capacity for the detection of illicit trafficking of nuclear and radioactive materials and relevant equipment and technology.

Hence, the threat of a nuclear Iran might consist less in its propensity to start a nuclear war with Israel than in its capacity to project its regional power effectively. A nuclear Iran might even threaten America s capacity to project conventional military force in the Gulf in times of crisis.

We accord the highest level of importance to the safety and security of our nuclear installations, particularly as we expand our nuclear power generation capacity for economic development.

Another option would be to bring the country s nuclear arsenal out of the basement altogether. Israel could then mimic other nuclear armed states by flexing its capacity through announcement and transparent nuclear deployment on land and sea, thereby promoting deterrence.

In 2000, the installed capacity of nuclear power in China was 2.1 GW, with a further 6.6 GW under construction.

It also has a sizeable nuclear industry, which presently accounts for about 18 per cent of the electricity generation capacity.

There is no nuclear generating capacity in Ireland and peat represents approximately 14 per cent of total primary energy supply.

Non proliferation under the Treaty should be strengthened by increasing the capacity of IAEA to detect any misuse of nuclear fuel.

The real obstacle to nuclear disarmament negotiations here is not the willingness of the parties, but the capacity of the forum.

Some countries undertook to propagate the notion that their nuclear weapons were intended for peaceful purposes, while other countries' capacity for self defence and nuclear deterrence allegedly posed a threat to world peace.

OSCE collaborated with various international organizations such as IAEA on nuclear security, and with UNICRI on the provision of capacity building assistance to States on the threat posed by chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials.

The Treaty, with its robust verification capacity in the International Monitoring System, represents an effective bar to both horizontal and vertical nuclear proliferation.

Nigeria's electricity demand would soon outstrip current electricity generating capacity by about five times, making nuclear energy the only affordable and environmentally safe option available.

Other states, which have their own civil nuclear capacity, have the potential to develop a weapon. The number of countries in this category is bound to increase as the number of nuclear power reactors doubles over the next 20 years.

To assuage any political and technological concerns, the Islamic Republic of Iran should increase transparency in all areas of its nuclear programme, including its civilian nuclear capacity, and explain the exact nature of its relations with groups classified as terrorist by the West.

Switzerland stated that the projections are made on the assumption that the present domestic nuclear power capacity remains in existence, and electricity purchasing agreements with France are renewed.

But, while there is much to celebrate, questions remain about whether the IAEA can increase its capacity both to combat proliferation and promote nuclear power plant safety. History suggests that without greater authority, the Agency will be incapable of dramatically reducing global nuclear risks.

But this assumes perfect rationality. In the real world, accidents occur, so more proliferation means a greater chance of eventual inadvertent use, weaker capacity in managing nuclear crises, and greater difficulty in establishing controls and reducing the role of nuclear weapons in world politics.

Simply put, the implications of nuclear catastrophe are troubling to all States because of the capacity for global annihilation that the arsenals of nuclear weapons represent. Our delegations therefore call on nuclear weapon States to respond to the unqualified desire of the overwhelming majority of States for prompt and effective measures to pursue the goal of full and verifiable nuclear disarmament, in a time bound framework, as a matter of urgency.

Russia s economy is weaker, and its armaments are rusty. It retains a formidable nuclear capacity, but it is inconceivable that Russia would use it to secure its aims in Ukraine.

The reality is that Iran does not envisage giving up its nuclear breakout capacity. The negotiations are aimed not at eradication, but at lengthening lead time specifically, limiting uranium enrichment levels to 3.5 , establishing a strong inspections regime, and reaching an agreement on the Arak nuclear facility.

In that regard, we reject the attempt of some Powers to prejudge the peaceful or non peaceful nature of the nuclear programmes of specific countries, bypassing the IAEA, which is the only international organization with the mandate and technical capacity to verify the nuclear activities of States.

Bilateral nuclear arms negotiations and nuclear disarmament

Physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities and assessment of vulnerability of nuclear facilities

While China has nuclear weapons and more soldiers, Japan s military is better equipped in some areas (and obviously has the technological capacity to develop nuclear weapons very quickly). Moreover, Japan s culture (both traditional and popular), overseas development assistance, and support of international institutions are impressive sources of soft power.

In South Africa, nuclear power is the second largest source of electricity, accounting for 6.8 per cent of the country's electricity generation capacity and 3 per cent of the primary energy supply.

We endorse his view that non possession of, or non capacity to develop, biological, chemical or nuclear weapons does not make it unnecessary or irrelevant for States to prepare a national report.

Nuclear non proliferation, nuclear disarmament and peaceful use of nuclear energy should be given equal treatment.

improvements in nuclear weapons by some nuclear weapon states.

Cessation of the nuclear arms race and nuclear disarmament.

Nuclear weapon free zones reinforce nuclear non proliferation and contribute to achieving the objective of nuclear disarmament.

The greatest nuclear risks posed by atomic radiation came from the operation of unsafe nuclear power plants, the abandoning and dumping at sea of old nuclear submarines, illicit trafficking in nuclear materials, nuclear testing and, of course, the use of nuclear weapons.

Today, non nuclear weapon States are under constant nuclear threat because of the continued development of new types of nuclear weapons and nuclear threats by the super Power with the largest nuclear weapon stockpiles.

Today, after the conclusion of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the nuclear Powers are resorting to subcritical nuclear tests to further modernize their nuclear arsenals.
