Abstract:

Performance indicators and performance measures are used to assess the success of an organization as it carries out its mandated activities and programs. Identifying appropriate indicators and measures is critical to demonstrating the performance of an organization as it allocates resources. State Regulatory Authorities and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are faced with the challenge of maintaining and enhancing a robust safeguards verification regime in light of rising nuclear inventories and resource limitations. This paper explores how improved performance measures and indicators can assist in addressing this challenge, while also considering the additional challenge associated with safeguards confidentiality.
