Abstract

Conducting Nuclear Security Culture Self-Assessments in Nuclear Research Facilities Using the IAEA Methodology

Highlights

Nuclear and radioactive materials should always be kept safe and secure in order to protect employees, the public, and the environment from undue exposure to radiation
The concept of nuclear security culture emerged after that of nuclear safety culture, which was triggered in large part by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986
This paper aims to describe the implementation of and general results from the second self-assessment of Indonesia’s three nuclear research facilities, as conducted by Center for Security Culture and Assessment (CSCA)/BATAN

Summary

Introduction

Nuclear and radioactive materials should always be kept safe and secure in order to protect employees, the public, and the environment from undue exposure to radiation. Individual understanding of and dedication and commitment to security from all individuals engaged in related activities will strengthen the security system In such a context, it is widely believed that establishing and promoting a strong security culture is essential for building an effective security system. The concept of nuclear security culture emerged after that of nuclear safety culture, which was triggered in large part by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986. Both concepts share the common objective of protecting society and human lives. As both goals are important for nuclear facilities and activities, synergy between them must be enhanced [4, 5]. Many countries with welldeveloped nuclear programs, such as China and Japan, have made the enhancement of nuclear security culture a top priority [6, 7]
