YOUR TELNO 1670 TO HONG KONG: CHINA: NUCLEAR SAFETY illow
1. PARAGRAPH 11 OF TUR SOUGHT MY ADVICE.
Jenerous
2. IN MY VIEW IT WOULD BE FOR THE CHINESE, AS MEMBERS OF THE IAEA, TO PROPOSE A VISIT TO VIENNA AND NOT, AS SUGGESTED IN YOUR TUR, FOR THE PROPOSAL TO COME FROM THE 14E4. WHEN INVITING THE CHINESE
EXPERTS TO VISIT THE UK HM EMBASSY PEKING COULD, NO DOUBT, SUGGEST
THAT THE CHINESE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR VISIT TO EUROPE TO INCLUDE
A VISIT TO VIENNA.
3. IN THE COURSE OF A CONVERSATION WITH HERZIG (IAEA DIRECTOR OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS) ON 6 AUGUST I MENTIONED TO HIM THIS POSSIBLE VISIT. I SAID THAT THIS, TOGETHER WITH THE VISIT BY UMELCO MEMBERS ON 8 AUGUST, WOULD BE THE SECOND CALL ON 14E4 TIME AND RESOURCES. I REALISED THAT THE NUCLEAR SAFETY DIVISION OF THE IAEA WAS EXTREMELY HARD-PRESSED, IN THE AFTERMATH OF CHERNOBYL, WITH THE NEGOTIATION OF TWO NEW AGREEMENTS ON NUCLEAR SAFETY AND WITH THE EXPANSION OF THE
AGENCY'S NUCLEAR SAFETY PROGRAMMES. I ASKED HERZIG WHETHER THE
SECRETARIAT WOULD FEEL THAT EXCESSIVE USE WAS BEING MADE OF SCARCE
RESOURCES IF A SECOND VISIT CONNECTED WITH HONG KONG WERE TO BE
MADE. HE AGREED THAT THE NUCLEAR SAFETY DIVISION IS UNDER EXTREMELY
HEAVY PRESSURE BUT HE THOUGHT THAT BY NEXT JANUARY OR FEBRUARY THEY
SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIT IN A VISIT WITHOUT TOO MUCH DIFFICULTY.
4. IN SUGGESTING THE VISIT YOU MIGHT WISH TO BEAR IN MIND THAT
SENIOR AGENCY STAFF WILL BE PREOCCUPIED BY A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS IN THE THIRD WEEK OF FEBRUARY.
