IAEA may hold special meeting

Mumbai: The IAEA Board is unlikely to take up the issue of India-specific safeguards at its scheduled meeting next week in Vienna but could hold a special meeting in the wake of the government deciding to approach the nuclear watchdog.

IAEA sources said the regular board meeting on November 22-23 would take up implementation issues on current safeguards and technical cooperation projects undertaken by the agency.

But IAEA can convene a special meeting anytime after the regular board meeting to discuss India-specific safeguards for which the agreed draft has to be readied by January 2008, Atomic Energy Department sources here said. The draft has to be readied by January 2008 to enable the U.S. Congress to vote on the 123 Agreement in the first quarter of next year, sources said. — PTI
