The report of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the ninth General Conference of the Agency covered the period from July 1, 1964, to June 30, 1965. During the period under review, membership of the Agency increased from 87 to 92. The new members were Cameroun, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Kuwait, and Madagascar. The main event during the period had been the Third International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy (Third Geneva Conference), which had provided a full evaluation of the experience gained since 1958 in designing, building, and operating nuclear power plants as well as of future prospects for nuclear power being introduced in an increasing number of countries. Ten specialized agencies, 75 states, and the Agency had been represented. The Conference focused its attention on nuclear power, the rapid rise of which as a major source of energy promised to be of decisive importance to the economic development of the world.

In its introduction, the report stated that the year had been marked by further notable improvement in the prospects for economically competitive nuclear power and by interesting developments with regard to the use of nuclear energy for desalinization. In accordance with a request of the General Conference, the Board had considered the question of financing IAEA's activities but had not been able to make any further recommendations.

The objectives of the founders of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reflected the dual nature of atomic power: it was the embodiment of both the highest hopes and the deepest fears of mankind. First, the Agency's developmental responsibility was to accelerate the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health, and prosperity throughout the world. Second and equally important was to be the Agency's control function: to create a reliable system of safeguards against diversion of fissionable material to military uses in order that the broadening of the peaceful applications of atomic energy should not increase the danger of strengthening the military potential of nations. Within this broad framework, the Agency was to plan and carry out specific projects and activities. This responsibility was largely to be a function of the Board of Governors, whose establishment was an immediate necessity if IAEA was to begin operations.
