Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nuclear safety and nuclear security share the same goal: to protect individuals, the public and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation. However, the activities that address nuclear safety and nuclear security are different, and actions taken to strengthen nuclear safety may affect nuclear safety and nuclear security positively or negatively, and vice versa. It is therefore essential to establish a well coordinated approach to managing the interface between nuclear safety and nuclear security so that relevant measures are implemented in a manner that aims to capitalize on opportunities that may be available for mutual enhancement without compromising either nuclear safety or nuclear security. The responsibility for nuclear safety and nuclear security within a State rests entirely with that State. In this context, the importance of international cooperation and the central role of the IAEA is widely recognized. The IAEA assists Member States in establishing or strengthening their nuclear safety infrastructure as well as their nuclear security infrastructure. In addition, it provides support to establish synergy between both infrastructures to ensure that actions taken in the two fields compliment rather than compromise each other. The interface between nuclear safety and nuclear security is highlighted in IAEA safety standards and nuclear security guidance. This publication was developed from the exchange of information, experiences and practices by participating Member States at the IAEA Technical Meeting on Safety and Security Interface -- Approaches and National Experiences, held in Vienna in 2018. The information presented in this publication summarizes the views expressed by the participants during the technical meeting; it is not a consensus report" --from the Foreword.

Download or read book Management of the Interface Between Nuclear Safety and Security for Research Reactors written by IAEA and published by IAEA TECDOC Series. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The rice-wheat system is the predominant cropping system in Asia, providing food, employment and income, ensuring the livelihoods of about one billion resource poor people. However, the productivity of the current rice–wheat systems is seriously threatened by increasing land degradation and scarcity of water and labour, inefficient cropping practices and other emerging socioeconomic and environmental drivers. Responding to the need to develop alternate crop establishment methods and improved cropping practices, this publication summarizes the results from a joint FAO/IAEA coordinated research project on optimizing productivity and sustainability of rice–wheat cropping systems. It provides relevant information on how to modify existing water and nutrient management systems and improve soil management in both traditional and emerging crop establishment methods for sustainable intensification of cereal production in Asia."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Enhancing Nuclear Security Culture in Organizations Associated with Nuclear and Other Radioactive Material written by IAEA and published by International Atomic Energy Agency. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear security culture is an important component of an effective nuclear security regime, as it serves as a tool to improve the performance of the human component at nuclear facilities and organizations to counter both insider and outsider threats. Security culture connotes not only the technical proficiency of the people but also their awareness of security risks and motivation to follow established procedures, comply with regulations and take the initiative when unforeseen circumstances arise. A workforce made up of individuals who are vigilant, who question irregularities, execute their work diligently and exhibit high standards of personal and collective behaviour is able to achieve effective nuclear security. Building upon this understanding of the importance of a strong nuclear security culture, this publication provides practical guidance on how to implement a systematic nuclear security culture enhancement programme.

It focuses on eight areas: software quality assurance, common-mode software failure potential, systems aspects of digital instrumentation and control technology, human factors and human-machine interfaces, safety and reliability assessment methods, dedication of commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software, the case-by-case licensing process, and the adequacy of technical infrastructure.

Download or read book A Systems View of Nuclear Security and Nuclear Safety written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by International Atomic Energy Agency. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The identification and assessment of threats provides an essential basis for the selection, design, and implementation of nuclear security measures. For nuclear material and other radioactive material that is under regulatory control, and associated facilities and activities, the results of this identification and assessment are expressed as a design basis threat or representative threat statement describing the intentions and capabilities of potential adversaries against which the materials and associated facilities and activities are to be protected. An Implementing Guide was issued in 2009 under the title of Development, Use and Maintenance of the Design Basis Threat which was updated and revised. The result of this revision is the current publication. It provides a step-by-step methodology for conducting a national nuclear security threat assessment including both physical and computer security aspects, and for the development, use and maintenance of design basis threats and representative threat statements.
