Sir,

I have the honour to inform you that the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency (the Agency) is planning to hold a Training Meeting/Workshop on ‘‘Modernization and Refurbishment of Research Reactors’’, from 9 to 11 October 2006.

The purpose of this Workshop is to address the key issues facing research reactor organizations currently contemplating modernization and refurbishment. The Workshop will seek to bring together representatives from all phases of relevant projects to share information and benefit from the experiences of and lessons learned by others. Approximately 35 persons from 32 countries are expected to attend.

The Agency has had informal contact with representatives of the HOR/IRI facility in Delft regarding this Workshop, and it is the Agen-cy’s understanding that the facility team would be interested in hosting the Workshop. It is believed that the Netherlands and the attendees at the Workshop would mutually benefit by the exchange of ideas that will take place at the Workshop. The contact person is:

I have the honour to enquire whether the Government of the Netherlands would wish to host the Workshop in question, and if so, whether your Government would agree to make the following arrangements.

1. The Government of the Netherlands will accord to the Agency, its property, funds and assets and, to the officials of the Agency and participants officially designated to attend the Workshop in their official capacities, and to members of the immediate families of such persons, the privileges and immunities contained in the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the International Atomic Energy Agency which was accepted by the Government on 29 August 1963.

2. The Government will accord to officials and participants mentioned above every facility necessary for the performance of their function in connection with the Workshop, including entering, remaining in and leaving the Netherlands. The Government will issue any necessary visas as expeditiously as possible and, where the legislation of the Netherlands permits, free of charge. The Government, however, reserves the right to deny, irrespective of nationality, visas to individual participants for national security reasons. Annex A contains the list of Member States to be invited to participate.

The Agency will inform the Government promptly of all persons officially designated to attend the Workshop. The Agency will also advise such persons to apply for visas, if necessary, in good time before the opening date of the Workshop, and the Host Government is expected to issue such visas promptly so as to allow participants to attend the Workshop.

3. The Government will facilitate customs formalities for those persons on entering and leaving the Netherlands.

4. The Government will make available to the Agency, without charge,and for the entire duration of the Workshop, premises and facilities adequate and appropriate for the Workshop, as listed in Annex B.

5. The Government will exercise reasonable care to ensure security on the premises in which the Workshop takes place and to ensure the safety of the officials of the Agency and participants while on the premises of the Workshop. The Government will take whatever steps may be reasonable in the circumstances to ensure such security and safety, including such supervision of the premises as may be warranted.

Should your Government wish to host the Workshop in question, I would be grateful if you would inform me in writing of your Government’s agreement on the above enumerated points by 26 May 2006 so as to enable the Secretariat to proceed with timely arrangements.

Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.
