In order to facilitate the international discussion of the assurance of supply (AOS) system, authors have been conducted studies of AOS. We focused and based our study on Japanese proposal "IAEA Standby Arrangement System (INFCIRC/683)". In this paper, we have been able to show the feasibility of AOS system more specifically by supposing additional costs and the required period necessary for the AOS and present a system we made that we hope as a practical system. And we studied the issues surrounding AOS and presented our proposal of their solutions. The issues we are tackling here are the definitions of AOS; issues on consumer states, supplier states, IAEA and the nuclear industries. The proposals we present here are the broadening the cause of AOS, the declaration of the supplier states on AOS, the advisory committee on the initiation of AOS of IAEA and setting up a IAEA fund for AOS.
