Download or read book A GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN NUCLEAR SAFEGUARDS TECHNOLOGY written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are a number of university graduate-education programs that address non-proliferation and safeguards policy issues; there are none in the United States that train students in the specific technical aspects of nuclear safeguards. Formal education of this kind is necessary to sustain the flow of technically trained individuals to diverse programs in safeguards, nonproliferation, and national security. In response to this need, the University of Missouri-Columbia, with assistance from Brookhaven National Laboratory, is initiating a Graduate Certificate Program in Nuclear Safeguards Technology: Students seeking advanced degrees in a variety of technical areas will complete a required sequence of courses in order to receive the certification. Required course work covers topics such as Nuclear Material Control and Accountability (MC & A), Physical Protection (PP); nuclear measurements, and a variety of other relevant subjects. Laboratory-based instruction will be included which will utilize the University of Missouri Research Reactor(MURR). MURR is the largest university-based research reactor and has extensive laboratory resources including a Canberra Aquila MPC & A Operational Monitoring demonstration system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently the University of Missouri-Columbia has implemented a Nuclear Safeguards graduate certificate to help satisfy the need for increased accountability in the growing field of nuclear technology. In order to fulfill partially the requirements of this certificate, a Nuclear Safeguards Science and Technology course has been established to link the concepts of nuclear science with those of nuclear security. Courses have already been available to allow a student to become familiar with the nature and properties of radioactive isotopes as well as their nonproliferation risks and other associated hazards. However, this new course strives to provide access to the methods and principles that connect the concepts of nuclear science with their applications to the safeguarding of nuclear materials. The three primary aspects of nuclear safeguards are material protection, control, and accountability. First, a tool is developed using a statistical model called EASI that can be used to aid in the design of physical protection systems. Secondly, an example laboratory experiment is presented that shows a calibration of a hand-held radiation detector for the use in preventing theft of a radioisotope for the purpose of material control. Finally, the development of a script in MATLAB for use in simulating gamma ray spectra, a method commonly used in material accounting, for various radioactive isotopes is presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major focus of the National Nuclear Security Administration-led Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI) is the development of human capital to meet present and future challenges to the safeguards regime. An effective university-level education in safeguards and related disciplines is an essential element in a layered strategy to rebuild the safeguards human resource capacity. NNSA launched two pilot programs in 2008 to develop university level courses and internships in association with James, Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) and Texas A & M University (TAMU). These pilot efforts involved 44 students in total and were closely linked to hands-on internships at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The Safeguards and Nuclear Material Management pilot program was a collaboration between TAMU, LANL, and LLNL. The LANL-based coursework was shared with the students undertaking internships at LLNL via video teleconferencing. A weeklong hands-on exercise was also conducted at LANL. A second pilot effort, the International Nuclear Safeguards Policy and Information Analysis pilot program was implemented at MIIS in cooperation with LLNL. Speakers from MIIS, LLNL, and other U.S. national laboratories (LANL, BNL) delivered lectures for the audience of 16 students. The majority of students were senior classmen or new master's degree graduates from MIIS specializing in nonproliferation policy studies. The two pilots programs concluded with an NGSI Summer Student Symposium, held at LLNL, where 20 students participated in LLNL facility tours and poster sessions. The value of bringing together the students from the technical and policy pilots was notable and will factor into the planning for the continued refinement of the two programs in the coming years.

Download or read book Nuclear Law written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book traces the journey of nuclear law: its origins, how it has developed, where it is now, and where it is headed. As a discipline, this highly specialized body of law makes it possible for us to benefit from the life-saving applications of nuclear science and technology, including diagnosing cancer as well as avoiding and mitigating the effects of climate change. This book seeks to give readers a glimpse into the future of nuclear law, science and technology. It intends to provoke thought and discussion about how we can maximize the benefits and minimize the risks inherent in nuclear science and technology. This compilation of essays presents a global view in discipline as well as in geography. The book is aimed at representatives of governments -- including regulators, policymakers and lawmakers -- as well representatives of international organizations and the legal and insurance sectors. It will be of interest to all those keen to better understand the role of law in enabling the safe, secure, and peaceful use of nuclear technology around the world. The contributions in this book are written by leading experts, including the IAEA's Director General, and discuss the four branches of nuclear law -- safety, security, safeguards and nuclear liability -- and the interaction of nuclear law with other fields of national and international law.

Download or read book Nuclear Safeguards and Non proliferation written by Greet Janssens-Maenhout and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This compact course is open to masters degree students (nuclear engineering, physics, chemistry, law, business, international relations etc.) Its primary aim is to complement engineering studies by including nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation in the academic curriculum. For this reason, the course has been attributed 3ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) points in the past. The course also serves the exposure of other students and professionals to this theme of continuing international attention. The course addresses aspects of the efforts to create a global nuclear non-proliferation system and how this system works in practice, including the Treaty on Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), safeguards systems and technology, and export control. Also regional settings, such as Euratom Treaty, are presented and discussed. The course deals in particular with technical aspects and application of safeguards i.e. how to implement the safeguards principles and methodology within the different nuclear facilities. The course is complemented with exercises, lab visits and topical lectures on actual issues, the latter not included in this syllabus and not part of the formal examination." -- Ed.
