Identifying Potentially Declarable
Activities
To determine or confirm potentially declarable activities, SRPNA
could start by asking a few
basic questions regarding the areas of information to be
reported. The answers to these questions may help break
down the process to identify what activities are reportable and where
to go for more information to determine the location and other relevant
details of the activity. The information gathering provides a
better understanding of the activity and can identify any related
activities that may be reportable. Some of the
investigation involves knowing which responsible government agency is
regulating the activity. Conducting searches on the
internet can also provide information about private industry involved
in
AP-related activities that are not funded by the State.
Informal requests to the IAEA can be made if there are questions in
deciding whether an activity should be declared. Seeking
advice from the IAEA is highly recommended when clarifying any issues
or questions. If there is still doubt as to whether or not to
declare an activity, it is recommended to declare the activity, and
then later modify or remove it.
