Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and National Research Institute of Police Science (NRIPS) have been working on technology development to develop the capabilities for responding nuclear security event involving nuclear and other radioactive materials out of regulatory control (MORC) in Japan. Those institutes have information exchange and research cooperation for more effective development and improvement of the national capabilities and strengthening international nuclear security. In this paper, current status and future prospects on technology development by the two institutes for contributing to the response capabilities for nuclear security event involving MORC.
