Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Activities of the International Atomic Energy Agency in the Cis Countries
( Pp. 152-159)

The purpose of the research: to determine the effectiveness of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The article analyses modern projects of power and non-power application in the CIS countries, identifies further conditions of cooperation between the studied countries and the international organisation, where Zaporozhye NPP was chosen as an example; identifies modern challenges that may hinder the effective work of the IAEA in the region. Results. As a result of the research, qualitative and quantitative criteria necessary for calculation were identified, using the performance indicator—KPI (Key Performance Indicators), with the help of which the authors were able to assess the efficiency of IAEA activities in percentage terms. In addition, current threats faced by the Agency in carrying out its activities have been identified: imperfections in international legal norms in the field of nuclear safety and the lack of a system of safeguards to mitigate risks during periods of heightened military tension. Despite the existence of a number of problems faced by the Agency, the authors conclude that its activities in the CIS countries are effective. The results of the study can be used to improve the IAEA's work in the region, as well as to analyse other international organisations using the system developed by the authors.
