*Describe the role and implementation of Material Control and Accountancy in the context of
nuclear safeguards.

Material Control and Accountancy is essential for nuclear safety, and therefore, all non-nuclear states must maintain effective nuclear material accountancy and remain in compliance with nuclear regulations submitting to the verification requirements mandated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as well as those within nation blocs such as the European Community nuclear safeguards. This nuclear material accountancy (NMA) is mandatory as it confirms that the non-nuclear state has not diverted their nuclear material toward non-peaceful purposes. To ensure that adherence to international nuclear treaties is maintained, the nation must engage in accountancy that demonstrates that it has effectively managed the nuclear material that it possesses.

Therefore, the use of NMA is mandatory as it enables the non-nuclear state to provide a true representation of their verification prowess while also adhering to international safeguards that have been mandated by the IAEA. To ensure that this occurs, the nation state must provide a breakdown of any and all nuclear material that enables localization in regard to the management necessary to retain nuclear material control while also safeguarding against any potential of usage of the nuclear material for purposes that are not peaceful. IAEA inspectorates or independent inspectorates within the country should be used to ascertain whether the nuclear site has the appropriate Material Balance Areas (MBAs), and it is recommended to subdivide the MBAs into accountancy areas that will allow for more effective verification of the nuclear materials.
