The United States is working closely with Cambodia to safeguard the use and disposal of nuclear materials.
美国与柬埔寨紧密合作，致力于保障核材料的使用和处置。

A recent international workshop on Nuclear Safeguards was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration, or DOE/NNSA,and hosted by the Cambodian Ministry of Mines and Energy and the U.S. Embassy in Cambodia, among others.
最近，美国能源部/国家核安全局（DOE/NNSA）发起一场核安全国际研讨会，该研讨会是由柬埔寨矿产能源部和美国驻柬埔寨大使馆等部门主办。

As noted by Anne Harrington, Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear NoNPRoliferation in the DOE/NNSA, “The United States has long considered the international safeguards system to be a central pillar of the nuclear noNPRoliferation regime’s strategy for preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. DOE/NNSA cooperates with over 30 countries in this regard,assisting state and regional authorities to establish effective systems of nuclear accounting and control.”
DOE/NNSA核不扩散部门副局长安妮·哈林顿表示：“长期以来，美国都在考虑建立国际保卫体系，使其成为核不扩散体制的支柱，以防止核武器的传播。DOE/NNSA与30多个国家，共同帮助州和地方政府建立核材料衡算和控制的有效体系。

During the workshop, experts from the DOE/NNSA and the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, delivered presentations on international nuclear safeguards, which are technical measures applied by the IAEA to verify that a country’s nuclear material is accounted for and not diverted for non-peaceful activities. Experts also facilitated interactive exercises designed to provide participants with information on how to prepare declarations to the IAEA on certain materials, activities, and locations.U.S. Embassy Political Officer Samuel Downing congratulated Cambodia on entering into force the Additional Protocol as part of its commitment to nuclear noNPRoliferation.
在研讨会上，DOE/NNSA和国际原子能机构（IAEA）的专家们就国际核保障问题发表讲话。IAEA从专业角度说明了核材料是导致非和平活动的罪魁祸首且不应该使用在非和平活动上。通过互动练习，专家们向参与者展示了如何向IAEA申报相关材料，活动和场所等信息。美国大使馆政治官员塞缪尔·唐宁对柬埔寨表示祝贺，柬埔寨承诺坚持核不扩散并开始实施《附加协议》。

He also noted the importance of continued engagement on this topic as it promotes greater understanding of the technical implementations of the Additional Protocol that could help Cambodia’s implementation.
塞缪尔·唐宁还表示，坚持《附加协议》的实施至关重要，而对《附加协议》的技术上的实施能促进其在柬埔寨的实施。
