The handbook documents existing best practices and methods used to account for nuclear material and to prepare the required nuclear material accounting reports for submission to the IAEA. With regard to IAEA safeguards and in the context of the IAEA programme for nuclear security, this handbook has been prepared by the IAEA for use by States and their organizations in their application of nuclear material accounting. In recent years, not only has additional emphasis been placed on nuclear material safeguards increased attention has been paid to physical protection, export controls and combating the illicit trafficking of nuclear material. A cornerstone of both safeguards and the SSAC is nuclear material accountancy of which nuclear material accounting is a key component and includes the corresponding reports that are required to be submitted to the IAEA. Under these safeguards agreements, each State is required to establish and maintain a State system of accounting for and control of nuclear material (SSAC) subject to safeguards under the agreement.
