Proceedings of 2008 INMM/ESARDA Tokyo Workshop "Meeting Safeguards Challenges in an Expanding Nuclear World" (CD-ROM), 19 Pages, 2008/10
This paper proposes basic principles and mechanisms of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)-centered AOS mechanism as a whole, delineating detailed structure of both virtual fuel reserve and physical fuel bank. Since the proposal encompasses further implementation of the Japanese proposal (INFCIRC/683), the supply to be assured are not only limited to low enriched uranium (LEU) and enrichment service, but also enhanced to LEU and important services of the front end of nuclear fuel cycle, namely uranium ore supply, uranium storage, conversion, enrichment and fuel fabrication. The proposal, consequently, rearranges and redefines three levels described in "Possible framework" of IAEA Director Generals' report in June 2007 under a new name of "three phases". Several new ideas for the AOS, such as preliminary declaration by supplier states and creation of the advisory committee on the AOS are incorporated in the proposal.

For safeguards, the correctness of the declaration of nuclear materials and also the completeness of the declaration are verified by the IAEA's activities. Satellite imagery analysis is not only used for check of declared activities, but the application to detection of undeclared activities is expected. JAEA can use lots of useful information about the various kinds of facilities for the satellite imagery analysis and the related sites covering the nuclear fuel cycle. JAXA has lots of technologies and experiences about satellite imagery analysis. Taking advantage of both merits, JAXA and JAEA are researching how to use satellite imagery analysis technology in the safeguards field, and what kind of technical development is required. The outline of the research and the future prospect of the satellite imagery technology in the safeguards field will be discussed.
