Strengthening International Cooperation to Counter Nuclear and - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Strengthening International Cooperation to Counter Nuclear and Radioactive Material Smuggling and to Facilitate Trade

Nuclear Security of Materials Outside of Regulatory Control Section Division of Nuclear Security DST@IAEA.org

Risks Related to Nuclear and Other Radioactive Materials Out of Regulatory Control

• Security Issues
• Malicious use as dirty bomb, radiological exposure device, or

improvised nuclear device

• Loss of control and security at nuclear facility
• Risks from MORC
• Loss of life or injury to health
• Economic Loss (cleanup, loss of use of area, etc.)
• Psychological impact
• Increased security costs

IAEA Activities Supporting Member States

Agency activities supporting nuclear security measures at borders to prevent illicit trafficking without encumbering trade include:

• 1. Guidance and training on implementation of effective and efficient

border controls. (NST 016 – 2020 release date)

• 2. Science and Technology Projects to provide tools and capacity

building.

a. Coordinated research projects addressing

1. Improved assessment of alarms 2. Advancing radiation detection equipment 3. Advancing maintenance, repairs, and calibratin 4. Proposed project on Facilitation of Safe and Secure Trade Using Nuclear Detection Technologies (Detection of CBRNE and Other Contraband)

b. Projects to produce specific tools and documents

1. Integrated Nuclear Security Network 2. Minimum Detectable Quantity and Alarm Threshold (TM and TECDOC)

Detection Science and Technology: Mandate and Objective

• Mandate: In IAEA’s Nuclear Security Plan 2018-2021, Member States

“underlined the importance of keeping pace with evolving challenges and threats to nuclear security using scientific and technological innovations and have affirmed the important role of science, technology, and engineering in understanding and addressing such challenges and threats.”

• Objective: Use science and technology to enhance the Member States’ ability to

effectively, efficiently and sustainably conduct nuclear security detection activities. This is accomplished through:

• Coordinated applied research projects
• Technical meetings
• Development of software and hardware tools through

projects

• IAEA guidance documents and technical reports
• External publications and presentations

CRP J02005: Improved Assessment of Initial Alarms from Radiation Detection Instruments

?

Over 99% of alarm are NORM, provide FLOs with a simple and easy way to identify these types of alarms quickly and with confidence Thousands of innocent alarms lead to delayed trade and FLO apathy when the alarms are identified as innocent Trade facilitation without compromising security

10,000 RPMs at borders and seaports worldwide
