Abstrakt: In September 2007, the U.S. Secretary of Energy announced the Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI), to revitalize the U.S. capacity to support IAEA safeguards. One element of NGSI is Human Capital Development. In this area, the primary goal is to "revitalize and expand the international safeguards human capital base by attracting and training a new generation of talent." Specific objectives include: 1) developing and implementing a human capital management strategy to provide qualified U.S. candidates to staff international safeguards positions at U.S. national laboratories and at the IAEA Department of Safeguards; 2) recruiting U.S. experts for positions of leadership and influence at the IAEA and increasing the percentage of U.S. personnel working at the IAEA; and 3) working to influence IAEA personnel policies and practices to encourage greater continuity in key safeguards positions. This paper will provide a progress report on recent accomplishments and next steps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
