Nuclear materials control

  1. 2.1
    Nuclear Materials Control with Bar-Code Techniques and Seals (TID) Application.

    The course will give the knowledge about NM access control systems, including administrative control, access control and surveillance systems. The course is dedicated to the methods of integration of the physical protection system and control and accounting system.

    Theoretical lessons

    • Basic elements of NM control including nuclear material containment measures: localization, access control, surveillance, detection and response measures.
    • Enhancement of MPC&A system effectiveness by means of integration of system elements.

    Practical exercises

    • NM control in process areas.
    • NM control during transportation.
    • NM transfer with the use of computerized MC&A system.
    • NM control at storage areas.
    • The course is accompanied with videos about TIDs application, PITs at real nuclear facilities, the boundary between nuclear materials control and accountability.

    Potential audience

    Specialists directly involved in NMPC&A activity as well as in its inspection.
