Vidaurre, J.; Miyaji, Noriko ; Hirai, Mizuki

The purpose of this paper is to quantify the training effort deployed by the IAEA and several countries with advanced power and nuclear fuel cycle facilities to the different segments of safeguards and security practitioners in charge of implementing safeguards and security measures in the field and to judge if this effort is commensurate with the actual requirements and needs. The paper focuses on Nuclear Material Accountancy and Control (NMA&C), as this is one of the most important disciplines encompassing both safeguards and security.
