Pakistan, IAEA sign CHASHMA-2 agreement http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2007\02\24\story_24-2-2007_pg7_35
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan said on Friday that it had signed with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) a Safeguards Agreement on the CHASHMA-2 nuclear power plant. According to a Foreign Office press release, the accord was signed in Vienna by Pakistan's permanent representative to the IAEA, Mohammad Shahbaz and the IAEA Director General Dr Mohamed ElBaradei. The move follows the IAEA Board of Governors' unanimous approval of the CHASHMA-2 safeguard pact last November. Pakistan's two research reactors (PARR-I and PARR2) and two nuclear power plants (KANUPP and CHASHMA-1) are already under IAEA safeguards. The Foreign Office noted that Pakistan was fulfilling its obligations under these two agreements and was looking forward to continued cooperation with the IAEA. app
