  "summary": "The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that South Korea has formally notified the agency of its intention to begin consultations on a safeguards arrangement for nuclear-powered submarines. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi made this announcement during the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna. South Korea's decision to pursue nuclear-powered submarines, following security agreements reached during a summit between President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump, has prompted this move. Article 14 of South Korea's Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement (CSA) allows the country to use nuclear material for non-nuclear military purposes, such as nuclear-powered naval propulsion, under an arrangement with the IAEA.",
