Effective capacity-building development based on good practices from the additional protocol implementation

Rodriguez, P.; Senzaki, Masao; Sekine, Megumi

Proceedings of INMM 60th Annual Meeting (Internet), 9 Pages, 2019/07

The ISCN of the JAEA has been providing assistance, specifically to Asian countries, for the past 8 years, since its establishment in 2010. The ratification of the Protocol Additional (AP) to the safeguards agreement, had involved some changes in the Asian countries resource infrastructures to adhere with the respective States obligations on nuclear non-proliferation. During the 7th FNCA workshop held in Mito, Japan in September 2017, under the Nuclear Security and Safegaurds Project (NSSP), a 3-year plan on the formulation of a generic set of Fundamentals on the Implementation of the Additional Protocol was proposed. To formulate this set of fundamentals, there was a need to prepare a set of Examples of good practices on the implementation of the AP based on the FNCA members experience. The ISCN was tasked to prepare the template and conduct the needed survey among the FNCA members of the project on nuclear security and safeguards. This paper provides a preliminary summary and analysis of the responses received. This paper presents the analysis of the good practices that were implemented in order for the States to satisfy the requirements of the IAEA, as stipulated in the AP. The nuclear fuel cycle characteristics of the involved Asian countries are quite different in several aspects, thus entailing a diverse strategy in resource infrastructure development. This paper describes how every country may have different approaches towards achieving the same objectives. It is worthwhile to look into these various practices, find commonality and share the experience. The objective of formulating a set of fundamentals on AP implementation will be achieved through a compilation and analysis of good practices and shared experiences among its members. The preliminary result on this project was introduced at the 8th FNCA workshop held in Beijing, China in September 2018.

In April 2010 at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, D.C., Japan made a commitment to establish a center of excellence on nuclear nonproliferation and security. This center would support capacity building for strengthening nuclear nonproliferation and security mainly in the Asian region and also would engage in development of technology related measurement and detection of nuclear material including nuclear forensics based on international cooperation. According to this statement, Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) was established under Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in December 2010. Since its establishment four years ago, ISCN has developed its activities, having already conducted 74 training courses for the nuclear nonproliferation and security fields and having trained 2,096 participants from 49 countries (including Japan) and three international organizations. As for technical development on detection and measurement of nuclear material, ISCN has carried out substantial outcome with the international cooperation of U.S. and EU/JRC. It can be said that it is a significant achievement of the Nuclear Security Summit process. This paper will overview the outcome of ISCN's activities over the past four years.

Naoi, Yosuke; Kobayashi, Naoki; Senzaki, Masao

Proceedings of INMM 55th Annual Meeting (Internet), 9 Pages, 2014/07

Within the Asian region, China and ROK also committed at the 2010 Security Summit to establishing similar training centers. ROK established one in February 2014, and China started construction on its center in October 2013, aiming to commence activities in 2015. In 2013, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) started discussions with these three countries for the harmonization of the contents of their centers' training activities. The purpose of these discussions is to avoid duplication of effort, since three centers of a similar kind will be established in the Asian region. In these discussions, ISCN has taken the lead to find ways to make this harmonization a reality. This paper will present the result of ISCN's activities over the past three and a half years; the current situation of the cooperation among the three countries, Japan, China, and ROK; and the future efforts to be made.

Role of safeguards in proliferation resistance for the future nuclear fuel cycle systems

Kuno, Yusuke; Senzaki, Masao; Seya, Michio; Inoue, Naoko

Proceedings of International Conference on Fast Reactors and Related Fuel Cycles (FR 2009) (CD-ROM), 11 Pages, 2012/00

A large amount of plutonium as well as high $$^{239}$$Pu should be handled in the future fast reactor nuclear fuel cycle (FR-NFC), where very robust measures for nuclear proliferation-resistance (PR) may have to be taken to prevent nuclear proliferation. To find a good balance of extrinsic barrier and intrinsic one will come to be essential for NFC designers to optimize civilian nuclear technology with nuclear non-proliferation. International Safeguards including Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol is the most effective institutional barrier among other institutional measures in non-proliferation regime. The advanced Safeguards with high detectability can play a dominant role for PR in the states complying with full institutional controls. In this context, a new concept of differentiation in the intrinsic measures depending upon the level of Safeguards could be applied from the viewpoint of plant design rationalization.

Revision 5 of the "Evaluation Methodology for Proliferation Resistance and Physical Protection of Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems" is also known as the Rev. 5 report. The Rev. 5 report provides an important evaluation framework that was developed with consensus-based discussions, and published by the OECD-NEA in November, 2006. The activities of PR&PP WG has contributed to establish PR&PP culture. Japan has to develop the future nuclear cycle system with sufficient proliferation resistance and physical protection features and demonstrate and explain about its effectiveness to the domestic and international society. For these reasons, and recognizing the usefulness of the Revision-5 Report, it was translated and published here as a Japanese-language edition with the concurrence of the OECD-NEA. The original report in English language can be downloaded at the OECD-NEA website.
