Statute overview

About this statute

This article defines key terms used in the Convention, including nuclear material, uranium enriched in isotope 235 or 233, and international nuclear transport. This article says the Convention applies to nuclear material used for peaceful purposes in international transport, and also to domestic use, storage, and transport except where articles 3, 4, and paragraph 3 of article 5 provide otherwise. Each State Party must take appropriate steps to protect nuclear material during international nuclear transport, as far as practicable, under national and international law. State Parties must not export, import, or allow transit of nuclear material unless required protections or assurances are in place, and one responsible State Party must notify transit states in advance. States Parties must identify their central authority and point of contact for nuclear material protection and incident response, and cooperate on recovery, protection, information-sharing, and return of stolen or missing nuclear material.
