Cooperative activities between Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) have played a significant role in the research and development of safeguards and nuclear nonproliferation technologies. JAEA is the independent administrative agency conducting comprehensive nuclear research and development in Japan, established in October 2005 after the merger of Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) and Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC). The achievements of the cooperative activities have been applied to the enrichment plant, reprocessing facility, MOX fabrication facility, and advanced reactors in JAEA. It was the first experience for IAEA to implement safeguards to those types of facilities in a non nuclear weapon state. These cooperative activities have contributed substantially to develop reliable and cost-effective IAEA safeguards systems. In addition, the safeguards technologies developed through these activities play an important role when the integrated safeguards is implemented to those facilities and sites. This paper provides an overview of the cooperative activities carried out for over 20 years between DOE and JAEA (JNC/JAERI). This paper also presents a comprehensive analysis of the 99 programs as they satisfied the requirements of safeguards and nuclear nonproliferation over time. Finally we suggest potential future cooperative activities between DOE and JAEA for the further enhancement of efficient and effective safeguards, transparency, and nuclear security.
