Officers at nuclear facilities have substantial responsibilities in the management of nuclear materials: They have to assure that nuclear material is properly controlled and accounted for; they need to detect and deter unauthorized access and removal of nuclear material and protect it from an insider or an outsider threat. At the same time, they need to comply with their State's commitments on nuclear nonproliferation that uses nuclear material accountancy as a fundamental verification measure. To perform such a variety of tasks, facility officers responsible for safeguards and security require a set of Skills, Knowledge and Attitudes commensurate with their responsibilities and tasks. To address this needs, the IAEA and its Member States have conducted a series of training courses, the vast majority of which were targeted to regulatory authorities on safeguards or nuclear material accountancy topics. There are few courses dedicated to facility officers or operators addressing holistically their security and safeguards requirements. This paper analyses the evolution of training courses for authorities and facility personnel in a changing environment from nuclear nonproliferation focused-era to the current broader approach encompassing safeguards and security. Then it recalls some conceptual developments of the recent past and attempts to justify a change in direction on the focus of Member State's training. Finally, it brings some specific proposals towards strengthening and increasing security and safeguards training in Nuclear Material Accountancy and Control relevant to the tasks and responsibilities of safeguards and security practitioners at the facility level.

For effective human capacity building, COE collaboration is an essential factor. As Japan's COE, ISCN has expanded its capacity to provide nuclear security training and infrastructure development support with the strong support from U.S. This paper describes the methodology and contents of ISCN's human resource development cooperation with Indonesia through COEs. The purpose of this paper is to provide a model for capacity building cooperation in nuclear security by introducing Japan's experience, and thus contribute to strengthen regional as well as global nuclear security.

Evaluation of designed and implemented physical protection system (PPS) is essential for ensuring the effectiveness of PPS. In Japan, based on its national law requiring performance-based assessment of PPS, nuclear facility operators have conducted performance test of PPS element and periodical trainings as well as annual PPS exercise with relevant agencies. In addition to these practical or field efforts, non-field tool for evaluating PPS effectiveness such as tabletop exercise (TTX) can be utilized as it is applied in the USA and other countries. This paper discusses the potential advantage of TTX as an evaluation tool of PPS effectiveness, looking at the characterizations of TTX in comparison to field evaluations, and potential cases where operator would get benefit from TTX especially.

The Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency has started its human capacity building activities, domestically and internationally, for the government officials and employees of companies of emerging nuclear power countries mainly in Asia. In this paper, I will describe the activities of ISCN on capacity building for these countries and also I will briefly describe, focusing on nuclear security, the activities of IAEA, Sandia National Laboratory of United States and the development of human capacity building support activities of neighboring countries of China and Korea. By doing this, I will describe the relationship and cooperation of ISCN with these organizations and talk about my personal views of the future development with these organizations and ISCN.

At the 2010 Washington Nuclear Security Summit, Japan committed to establish a regional center for the strengthening of nuclear security, mainly in Asia, through capacity building support including human resources training and infrastructure development assistance. In accordance with this statement, the Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) was inaugurated in December 2010 in Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). This paper describes the ISCN training activities and introduces the developing new training course on physical protection.

The Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) of Japan developed a national training course on the tabletop exercise (TTX), with the support of National Nuclear Security Administration of United States Department of Energy (DOE/NNSA) and the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and successfully conducted the first pilot course at a nuclear power plant in Japan in December, 2015. This paper will describe how ISCN developed the TTX course for that facility with good practices and challenges associated with the course design and implementing process.

As a regional Center of Excellence (COE) on nuclear security in Asia, Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) of Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been supporting IAEA and international community to promote universalization of IAEA's nuclear security recommendations (INFCIRC/225/Revision 5 or Nuclear Security Series 13 (NSS 13)) through its activities. ISCN provided its workshop materials which ISCN developed jointly with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to IAEA; ISCN contributed to develop the first 5-day training course of IAEA; ISCN developed the training tools such as Physical Protection Exercise Field and Virtual Reality system at ISCN to enhance the effectiveness of the training and promote understanding of NSS 13 recommendations; and ISCN complements IAEA's activities by assisting other Member States in Asia to build their own capacity for implementing recommendations of NSS 13.
