“Myanmar drops a nuclear ‘bombshell’”
By Larry Jagan
BANGKOK -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Over the past six years, more than 1,000 Myanmar scientists, technicians and military personnel have received nuclear training in Russia, according to Myanmar government officials. Under a 2002 agreement, Russia was set to build a nuclear reactor in Myanmar but later scrapped the plan over the junta’s lack of funds. Nonetheless, Moscow informed the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in mid-2003 that it planned to provide training in nuclear science to some 300 Myanmar citizens each year.
According to Russian officials, the construction and supervision of the planned research center will come under the control of the IAEA. Myanmar is currently a member of the IAEA and already reportedly has a so-called “safeguards agreement” in place. Under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), states in compliance with their safeguards’ obligations and other provisions are allowed to pursue nuclear energy or technology solely for peaceful purposes.
In practice, however, verifying the fulfillment of those obligations has proved difficult, most recently witnessed in the case of Iran’s secretive nuclear-energy program, which it insists is for peaceful purposes and within its NPT rights, while others, such as US, suspect it is geared for a weapons program. Russia is also involved in developing a nuclear facility for Iran.”
