Research Evidence: The following findings from 5 research documents reference this entity:

1. The facility has operated since the early 1960s without IAEA safeguards.
2. The NPT and IAEA safeguards regime do not cover fusion systems, creating a structural loophole.
3. The NPT and IAEA safeguards do not cover fusion systems, creating a legal loophole.
4. Confidence: ESTABLISHED --- ## L7: The NPT/IAEA Safeguards Gap — Fusion Falls Outside International Controls ### Finding: The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and IAEA safeguards regime were designed exclusively around fission materials and technology.
5. The KTM tokamak, IGR, and IVG.1M reactors are all documented as civilian research facilities under IAEA safeguards.
6. Brazil's constitutional commitment to peaceful nuclear use and full IAEA safeguards provide strong non-proliferation assurances.
7. South Africa's dismantlement of its nuclear weapons program and full IAEA safeguards provide strong non-proliferation credentials.
8. The regulatory framework is lagging: the NPT doesn't cover fusion, IAEA safeguards don't apply, and the proposed dual-use export control approach is still under development.
