核物質利用の透明性維持のためには、IAEA/国が実施する保障措置活動に適切に対応することが必要であり、核物質を取り扱う上で重要な業務の一つである。原子力機構では当該保障措置対応を的確に実施するために、従業員の知識の向上のための活動及び実際の保障措置対応を的確に行うための活動など様々な取り組みを実施している。本発表では、取り組みの具体的内容及びその効果や課題に加え、今後の活動について紹介する。

In order to maintain transparency in the peaceful use of nuclear materials in Japan, it is important to appropriately respond to safeguards activities conducted by the IAEA/Japan. Failure to respond appropriately to these activities could have significant impacts, such as raising suspicion from the international community about the misuse of nuclear materials by not only the operators but also by Japan. In order to strengthen activities to appropriately respond to safeguards activities, JAEA has started (I) education on safeguards for all employees directly employed by JAEA, (II) lectures, (III) case studies, and (IV) standardization of procedures related to safeguards response since FY2020, following the methods used to foster nuclear security culture in the past. This report describes these specific activities.
