Sec. 6322. IAEA internal reforms

    In order to promote the early adoption of reforms in the 
implementation of the safeguards responsibilities of the IAEA, the 
Congress urges the President to negotiate with other nations and groups 
of nations, including the IAEA Board of Governors and the Nuclear 
Suppliers Group, to--
        (1) improve the access of the IAEA within nuclear facilities 
    that are capable of producing, processing, or fabricating special 
    nuclear material suitable for use in a nuclear explosive device;
        (2)(A) facilitate the IAEA's efforts to meet and to maintain its 
    own goals for detecting the diversion of nuclear materials and 
    equipment, giving particular attention to facilities in which there 
    are bulk quantities of plutonium; and
        (B) if it is not technically feasible for the IAEA to meet those 
    detection goals in a particular facility, require the IAEA to 
    declare publicly that it is unable to do so;
        (3) enable the IAEA to issue fines for violations of safeguards 
    procedures, to pay rewards for information on possible safeguards 
    violations, and to establish a ``hot line'' for the reporting of 
    such violations and other illicit uses of weapons-grade nuclear 
    material;
        (4) establish safeguards at facilities engaged in the 
    manufacture of equipment or material that is especially designated 
    or prepared for the processing, use, or production of special 
    fissionable material or, in the case of non-nuclear-weapon states, 
    of any nuclear explosive device;
        (5) establish safeguards over nuclear research and development 
    activities and facilities;
        (6) implement special inspections of undeclared nuclear 
    facilities, as provided for under existing safeguards procedures, 
    and seek authority for the IAEA to conduct challenge inspections on 
    demand at suspected nuclear sites;
        (7) expand the scope of safeguards to include tritium, uranium 
    concentrates, and nuclear waste containing special fissionable 
    material, and increase the scope of such safeguards on heavy water;
        (8) revise downward the IAEA's official minimum amounts of 
    nuclear material (``significant quantity'') needed to make a nuclear 
    explosive device and establish these amounts as national rather than 
    facility standards;
        (9) expand the use of full-time resident IAEA inspectors at 
    sensitive fuel cycle facilities;
        (10) promote the use of near real time material accountancy in 
    the conduct of safeguards at facilities that use, produce, or store 
    significant quantities of special fissionable material;
        (11) develop with other IAEA member nations an agreement on 
    procedures to expedite approvals of visa applications by IAEA 
    inspectors;
        (12) provide the IAEA the additional funds, technical 
    assistance, and political support necessary to carry out the goals 
    set forth in this subsection; \1\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ So in original. Probably should be ``section;''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
        (13) make public the annual safeguards implementation report of 
    the IAEA, establishing a public registry of commodities in 
    international nuclear commerce, including dual-use goods, and 
    creating a public repository of current nuclear trade control laws, 
    agreements, regulations, and enforcement and judicial actions by 
    IAEA member nations.
