“The IAEA can help states. So we don’t have responsibility for nuclear security but we can assist all states that so wish to establish effective, sustainable nuclear security systems that would significantly reduce and eliminate this threat [of nuclear terrorism].

Storyline

When over 40 heads of states convene at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington on 12 April 2010, international concern will focus on the risk that radioactive material could be misappropriated and detonated to wreak havoc.

Among the principal priorities for Member States of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that have relatively substantial nuclear material within their borders is to ensure that it is never accessed, and above all else, never stolen.

SOUNDBITE (English) Anita Nilsson, Director, Office of Nuclear Security, International Atomic Energy Agency:
“The IAEA can help states. So we don’t have responsibility for nuclear security but we can assist all states that so wish to establish effective, sustainable nuclear security systems that would significantly reduce and eliminate this threat [of nuclear terrorism].

Nuclear security is every state’s concern. To address that international demand, the Interdepartmental Special Training Centre (ISTC), a nuclear security training site, located in Obninsk, Russia, home to the world’s first civilian nuclear power station, offers practical security training to IAEA Member States.

SOUNDBITE (English) Anita Nilsson, Director, Office of Nuclear Security, International Atomic Energy Agency:
“There are so many things that can be done [on the issue of nuclear security]. It is possible to help out with improving security measures and facilities for transports or for other locations, for that matter; to involve in education and training personnel and staff; and to put standards in place.”

The ISTC is led by a team of veteran security experts who work to train teams of nuclear security guards and professional staff in all aspects of nuclear site protection. Over 12,000 Russian specialists have gone through its courses since 1993. Now the centre is opening up and, with help from the IAEA, has internationalized its services with over 300 international participants having been trained in these courses. Further enrolment is expected in coming years.
