In this picture I am in my office at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. I have just taken up my position as Deputy Director General of the Agency, responsible for the Department of Safeguards, whose main task is to verify the exclusively peaceful use of nuclear materials in non-nuclear-weapon states.
Here’s how I got there.
