Questions/Difficulties
1. Availability of expertise for self assessment
2. Political commitment
3. More detailed description within IAEA
documents
4. Re-evaluation of 19 infrastructure issues
should be periodically made
5. International cooperation should be
fostered both bilateral and multilateral
6. Clear responsibilities should be defined
