Analyzing data shows that there is still a pressing need for better Nuclear Security - worldwide Incident and Trafficking Database (ITDB): Established in 1995, information collected from official sources in 139 participating States

In 2018, 253 incidents were reported to the ITDB by 49 States Over 3640 confirmed incidents in total

Nuclear Security Plan 2018-21

• The Agency assists Member States upon request to meet

their nuclear security needs, recognizing the fact that nuclear security is a national responsibility

• Agency implement nuclear security activities under the

Nuclear Security Plan 2018–2021.

• NSP 2018-2021 corresponds to the priorities of Member

States expressed through the decisions and resolutions of the agency policy making organs.

• IAEA provides, upon request, assistance to States and

Assistance through Training

Many training courses are offered on International, Regional as well as National level, and are available in different languages:

• Developing Regulations and Associative Administrative

Measures for Nuclear Security;

• Regulatory Authorization for Nuclear Security during the

Lifetime Stages of Nuclear Facilities

• Introduction to the Evaluation of Physical Protection System

Effectiveness

• Inspections for Nuclear Security at Nuclear Facilities;
• Regional Schools for Drafting Radiation Safety and Security

Regulations

• A new “Advance Training Course for Nuclear Security

Regulators” is being developed – It will address regulatory functions for nuclear security.

Agency assists States through:

• Advisory missions to review their regulatory

framework or their complete nuclear security regime

• National Workshops
• Physical Protection upgrades
• Expert missions on a wide range of topics

Other types of Assistance

NSNS Cooperation with the Members of Arab Network of Nuclear Regulators (ANNuR)

IAEA NSNS Assistance to ANNuR Members

• IAEA is addressing the regional needs of Arab Countries through

different forums including (ANNuR) in their efforts to establish sustainable Nuclear Security Regime.

• 18 ANNuR members have approved their INSSPs with IAEA.
• 2 ANNuR members’ INSSP have been finalized and are now

pending official approval

• ANNuR members also participated in Agency’s activities for

enhancement of regulatory regime under Africa Project.

Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen

Areas of Assistance

Cooperation with and Assistance to Arab Countries - Regionally

• IAEA Assisted ANNuR through GNSSN in adopting

ANNuR Strategic Plan for 2016-2020 with following nuclear security related objectives:

– Establishment of national regulatory bodies; – Enhancing capacity to secure management of radioactive sources; – Secure utilization of research reactors; – Establishment of effective network of human resources for regional cooperation

• Interregional Workshop to Coordinate the

Implementation of Integrated Nuclear Security Support Plans for the Members of the Arab Network of Nuclear Regulators – Q2 2020

Further Assistance to offer

• IAEA can provide further assistance to Arab

Countries to:

– Build the capacity of its members for regulating nuclear security of nuclear material, other radioactive material, associated facilities and associated activities, particularly for countries embarking on nuclear power; – Build the capacity of national organizations involved in establishing, implementing, maintaining and sustaining the nuclear security regime. – Involve in Coordinated Research Projects

Conclusion

National efforts can be enhanced if they are implemented in synergy with international programs for strengthening global nuclear security
