What conditions will apply to Australian uranium?
A key condition is that AONM be used, processed or stored only within facilities which will be subject to Russia’s safeguards agreement with the IAEA. While Russia has the right to choose which facilities are eligible for IAEA inspections, under the terms of the Agreement Australia and Russia must jointly determine which facilities will be eligible to use AONM. ASNO (Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office) will cross-check reports on AONM provided by Russia for consistency with information from the IAEA and from other sources.
