This article focuses on the role of Mohmaed ElBaradei, director general of International Atomic Energy Agency on the nuclear arm control. The agency is mostly focused on the development of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, but after the first Gulf War in 1991, the IAEA was mandated by the Security Council Resolution 687 to destroy, remove harmless nuclear weapon programs of Iraq. Nuclear Threat Initiative is a disarmament group which supports the notion that to reduce the risk of proliferation, an international organization like the IAEA should supply uranium to those countries, who are interested in improving their nuclear capabilities for peaceful purposes. A recent initiative from ElBaradei includes a recommendation for a five-year moratorium on the construction of new uranium enrichment plants and plutonium reprocessing facilities which accompany the development of nuclear weapons. ElBaradei is trying to explore multilateral ways to control nuclear proliferation for weapons production. He is also providing and producing nuclear fuel for the countries who are interested in seeking a peaceful nuclear program. INSET: Past Peace Prize Winners..

The article reports that defying the West, Iran this week vowed to resume research and development on uranium enrichment and other sensitive elements of a nuclear program alleged to include weapons research. But U.S. officials and analysts believe it will take months for Iran to solve a key technical challenge in purifying uranium isotopes--unless it gets outside help. Iran's decision has endangered talks with three European countries on a diplomatic solution to the crisis and has exasperated officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria, which is responsible for verifying that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful. The move also jeopardizes a Russian proposal to allow Iran to carry out uranium enrichment on Russian soil. The world is running out of patience with Iran, IAEA director Mohamed El-Baradei said to Sky News on January 9, 2006. Iran claims that its nuclear program is strictly for producing energy. To that end, it insists on exercising its right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to transform uranium ore, predominantly containing uranium-238, into fuel enriched in the rarer, fissile isotope uranium-235.
