Notes:
Year denotes year of membership. Names of States are not necessarily their historical designations.
The Democratic People´s Republic of Korea (DPRK), which joined the IAEA in 1974, withdrew its membership of the Agency 13 June 1994.
Cambodia, which joined the IAEA in 1958, withdrew its membership of the Agency 26 March 2003.
The former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was changed to Serbia and Montenegro as of 4 February 2003. In June 2006, IAEA membership of Serbia and Montenegro was continued by the Republic of Serbia. This followed the Declaration of Independence adopted by the National Assembly of Montenegro on 3 June 2006. The Republic of Montenegro subsequently, on 14 June 2006, applied for membership of the IAEA, a process that is pending completion of procedures required to become an IAEA Member State.
For States in italics, membership has been approved by the IAEA General Conference and will take effect once the State deposits the necessary legal instruments with the IAEA.
