众所周知,水是生命之源泉,今天极为有限的水资源的合理开发利用,对所有国家的可持续发展都具有极其重要的意义。尤其是当我国开始实施举世瞩目的西部大开发计划的时候,做好水资源的开发和合理利用工作则显得更为重要。近日,借参加“核技术在水资源领域中的应用讨论会”之机,记者就如何把同位素水文技术应用到全国的水资源开发项目中等问题,采访了国际原子能机构副总干事钱积惠先生。钱积惠先生首先介绍了国际原子能机构的情况。国际原子能机构(IAEA)创建于1957年,总部设在维也纳,现有130个成员国。同联合国系统其他专业组织一样,也是在自己的成员国大会和理事会领导下,按其既定的规约独立运作。唯一不同之处,可能是因为其与核相关的事件的特殊重要性,IAEA 每年要直接向联合国大会报告工作,对于某些与核武器扩散有关的事件,有时要直接向安理会报告。IAEA 秘书处负责执行理事会批准的计划,包括经费活动计划和与成员国的技术合作计划。每年经常活动计划经费约2.25亿美元和技术合作活动计划预算约8000万美元。按照其规约,IAEA“应谋求加速和扩大原子能对全世界和平、健康及繁荣的贡献”。其活动可概括为三个主要方面:①核 It is well known that water is the source of life. Today, the extremely limited development and utilization of water resources is extremely important for the sustainable development of all countries. Especially when our country started to implement the plan for the development of the western region, which has drawn worldwide attention, it is even more important to do a good job in water resources development and rational utilization. Recently, by participating in the conference on the application of nuclear technology in the field of water resources, the reporter interviewed the deputy director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency on the issue of how to apply isotope hydrology technology to the water resources development projects across the country. Mr. Hui. Mr. Qian Jihui first introduced the situation of the International Atomic Energy Agency. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was founded in 1957 and is headquartered in Vienna, the existing 130 member states. Like other professional organizations in the United Nations system, it is also operating independently under its established statute, under the leadership of its own member states’ assembly and council. The only difference, perhaps because of the special importance of its nuclear-related events, is that the IAEA reports directly to the General Assembly every year and sometimes reports directly to the Security Council on certain incidents related to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The IAEA Secretariat is responsible for implementing the plans approved by the Governing Council, including the program of activities and the technical cooperation programs with member countries. Approximately $ 225 million is planned for regular activities each year and about $ 80 million is budgeted for technical cooperation activities. In accordance with its statute, IAEA “should seek to accelerate and expand the atomic energy contribution to peace, health and prosperity in the world.” Its activities can be summarized in three main areas: ① nuclear
