International Workshop on "Transparency Technology for Nonproliferation Cooperation in the Asia Pacific" held by The Japan Atomic Energy Agency on 20-22 February 2008 focused on identifying appropriate roles and functions for Transparency in addressing nonproliferation concerns associated with the use of nuclear energy, particularly in the East Asia region. The participants agreed that its usefulness ranges for verification and compliance with the Nonproliferation Treaty to building trust and confidence in the activities of the state and other stakeholders. In addition, they identified a need for further education among the professional community, public, operators, and regulators and also the education and cultivation of the next generation of nuclear energy experts. It was importantly noted that small, incremental, approaches and steps, both technical and non-technical, are needed for next steps toward increasing transparency, openness, and confidence building among all East Asia.

Remote monitoring and secure communications technologies can help nuclear industries demonstrate non-proliferation compliance. At the same time, web-based remote monitoring can improve non-proliferation cooperation between neighboring countries and international partners in the nuclear fuel cycle. Building upon past individual project successes toward transparency cooperation, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Korea Institute of Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Control (KINAC), and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) are exploring the possibility of a regional transparency network. Observation of the project is provided by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This presentation describes the past project activities and expectations for future cooperation and technology development.

Remote monitoring and secure communication technologies assist organizations developing nuclear energy by demonstrating compliance with international nonproliferation agreements and IAEA safeguards. A collaboration between JAEA and Sandia on remote monitoring transparency technology at the Joyo test site is described. The history and development of the project, technology, and recent upgrades to the hardware and an internal website are described. Technical applications, and the cooperative process for development of a potential regional transparency network, are discussed.
