	Nuclear Energy Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NEA is the only intergovernmental nuclear energy organisation which brings together developed countries of North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region in a small, non-political forum with a relatively narrow, technical focus.
		The mission of the NEA is to "assist its Member countries in maintaining and further developing, through international co-operation, the scientific, technological and legal bases required for the safe, environmentally friendly and economical use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes." [1]
		NEA committee structure The NEA Secretariat serves seven specialised standing technical committees under the leadership of the Steering Committee for Nuclear Energy - the governing body of the NEA - which reports directly to the OECD Council.

	International Atomic Energy Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), established as an autonomous organization on July 29, 1957, seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to inhibit its use for military purposes.
		With the increase of nuclear proliferation in the 1990s, IAEA tasks began to include inspections and investigations of suspected violations of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty under the mandate of the United Nations; however, it can only refer the matter to the UN Security Council, which has the monopoly on UN coercion measures.
		The Agency and Director General Mohammad ElBaradei were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.

	Russia to Build World’s First Floating Nuclear Power Station for $200,000 - MONEY - MOSNEWS.COM
		Russia’s Federal Nuclear Energy Agency has made a decision to build a low capacity floating nuclear power plant (FNPP), the first project of its kind in the world.
		The reactors will be loaded with nuclear fuel once every three years and will have a lifespan of 40 years.
		These areas lack centralized energy supplies, and an FNPP would be an independent source of energy.

	Nuclear Terrorism
		Nuclear Control Institute has long been a critic of the inability of IAEA inspections and other "safeguards" measures to detect large process losses of plutonium and highly enriched uranium or to ensure adequate protection against thefts of these materials in transit and in storage.
		The Task Force warned that the "probability of nuclear terrorism is increasing" because of a number of factors including "the growing incidence, sophistication and lethality of conventional forms of terrorism," as well as the vulnerability of nuclear power and research reactors to sabotage and of weapons-usable nuclear materials to theft.
		A crucial defense against nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation is to end civilian commerce in plutonium and highly enriched uranium and to convert military stocks of these nuclear explosives into non-weapon-usable forms as soon as possible.
