Report to the General Assembly: The sixth report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the UN General Assembly covered the period July 1 to October 1, 1962. The report stated that the character of the Agency's programs remained much the same in 1961 as in 1960, but there were some changes in their scope. Technical assistance activities, particularly, training, decreased in 1961 mainly because voluntary contributions again failed to meet the target set. The number of scientific meetings had remained at about twelve a year. There had been some growth in the research contract program, and member states were beginning to make substantial use of the services of the laboratory at Seibersdorf. In 1961, for the first time, member states had asked for the Agency's help in planning individual power reactor projects. It was expected that a number of nuclear power plants would come into operation in the developing areas in the late 1960's and that this would require a good deal of preparatory work in the next few years. In May 1962 the Special Fund approved for the first time a project for the peaceful uses of atomic energy; this decision might provide an important new source of finance for certain types of nuclear science projects in the developing countries.
