The report of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the tenth General Conference of the Agency covered the period from July 1, 1965, to June 30, 1966. During that time the Agency’s membership increased from 92 to 96; the new members were Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, and Panama.

The period under review was marked by further growth in IAEA’s safeguards activities. In June 1966 the Agency provisionally approved special procedures for safeguarding reprocessing plants. During the year the number of safeguards agreements approved by the Board increased from 24 to 29. One new agreement covered a major nuclear power station in the United Kingdom.
