International approaches to provide nuclear facilities with nuclear safety and security 2 Content - what nuclear safety is - what nuclear security is -the difference between nuclear safety and nuclear security - IAEA Convention on nuclear safety Nuclear safety culture https://www.youtube.com/c/nuclearsecuritynsspi/playlists Nuclear security 3 The IAEA defines nuclear security as "The prevention and detection of and response to, theft, sabotage, unauthorized access, illegal transfer or other malicious acts involving nuclear materials, other radioactive substances or their associated facilities“ Nuclear security culture - ? Nuclear security 4 nuclear security regime — includes: “Developing, fostering and maintaining a robust nuclear security culture”. Nuclear security culture is defined as: “The assembly of characteristics, attitudes and behaviours of individuals, organizations and institutions which serve as a means to support, enhance and sustain nuclear security” The role of nuclear security culture can be deduced from the implied definition of nuclear security as “the prevention of, detection of, and response to, criminal or intentional unauthorized acts involving or directed at nuclear material, other radioactive material, associated facilities, or associated activities” Nuclear security 5 THE IAEA MODEL OF NUCLEAR SECURITY CULTURE 2.1. Essential Element 12 of the Nuclear Security Fundamentals [2] — sustaining a nuclear security regime — includes: “Developing, fostering and maintaining a robust nuclear security culture”. Nuclear security culture is defined as: “The assembly of characteristics, attitudes and behaviours of individuals, organizations and institutions which serve as a means to support, enhance and sustain nuclear security” [2]; the definition in Ref. [1] did not include ‘and sustain’. The role of nuclear security culture can be deduced from the implied definition of nuclear security as “the prevention of, detection of, and response to, criminal or intentional unauthorized acts involving or directed at nuclear material, other radioactive material, associated facilities, or associated activities” [2]. This cross-cutting concept — explicitly or implicitly — is relevant to many different aspects of nuclear security, as shown in Table 1. Accordingly, nuclear security culture and its assessment methodology need to be universal, and to be applicable to all types of facilities and activities. Figure 1 represents the IAEA model of nuclear security culture, as set out in the relevant implementing guide [1]. Nuclear safety 6 Nuclear safety is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as "The achievement of proper operating conditions, prevention of accidents or mitigation of accident consequences, resulting in protection of workers, the public and the environment
