Transcription

1 PROSPECTUS Title: Place: International Training Course on Preventive and Protective Measures against Insider Threats The course will be held at the Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN), Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Address: Funaishikawa Eki-higashi, Tokai-mura, Naka-gun, Ibaraki , Japan Dates: 7 11 April 2014 Deadline for nominations: 7 March 2014 Organizer: Language: Participation: Objective: Participants qualifications: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) The language of instruction will be English. Participants should have sufficient proficiency to follow lectures and express themselves in that language without difficulty. The course is open to 30 participants from IAEA Member States that have either a nuclear power plant or a research reactor, or that have active projects to develop such facilities. The purpose of the course is to provide technical information on the implementation and evaluation of nuclear security measures to address insider threats, including unauthorized removal of nuclear materials (theft), sabotage and cybersecurity at facilities containing nuclear material. The course will include lectures and small-group working sessions with exercises that introduce concepts for the evaluation of preventive and protective measures and how these should be applied in order to enhance nuclear security against insider threats. During the small-group sessions, the participants will apply concepts covered in the lectures as they work through practical exercises on a hypothetical facility. Preference will be given to persons who work in nuclear materials security or nuclear safeguards, including representatives of both operating organizations and regulatory bodies. Member States are strongly encouraged to identify suitable women participants. The course is intended mainly for persons who are responsible for designing, operating and/or assessing nuclear security systems, including the nuclear material accounting and control (NMAC) components, physical protection of nuclear facilities, and nuclear security management and staff; operators and managers of NMAC systems; those preparing associated regulations; persons responsible for computer security at nuclear facilities and persons from the competent authorities. Representatives of organizations not directly involved in these kinds of security programs may attend the course, as their needs require, their backgrounds permit, and if space is available. 1

2 Nature of the course: Brief description of the content: The course will consist of lectures on the use or enhancement of the facility measures against insider threats and on activities to meet nuclear security objectives. It will include small-group working sessions with exercises that introduce accounting and control, physical protection and computer security concepts and how they should be applied to enhance nuclear security. During the small-group sessions, the participants will apply concepts covered in the lectures as they work through practical exercises on a hypothetical facility. 1. Introduction The course will begin with an introductory session on Preventive and Protective Measures Against Insider Threats (IAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 8), which responds to the mandate in the 2005 Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material to protect nuclear material in domestic use, storage, and transport and also to protect nuclear material and facilities against sabotage. Other nuclear security measures are discussed in a pending IAEA Nuclear Security Series publication on the use of NMAC for nuclear security at the facility level, which responds to the mandate in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 to [d]evelop and maintain appropriate effective measures to account for and secure [nuclear material] in production, use, storage or transport. Case histories of actual insider threats will be discussed. 2. Insider Definitions and Issues This session will address the definition of an insider as well as the possible motivations for their actions. The possible role that an insider can play in unauthorized removal, sabotage and cybersecurity at facilities containing nuclear materials will be discussed, including the different situations and activities that should be examined for vulnerabilities to the insider threat. 3. Target Identification Insider targets for unauthorized removal, sabotage and cybersecurity will be discussed in this session as well as the process for identifying and categorizing those targets at a specific facility. A discussion of regulatory requirements and the development of target location information will also be included. 4. Identification of Potential Insiders The identification of potential insiders for a specific facility will be discussed in this session. The role which the State s design basis threat plays in that process will be discussed as well as the characterization and grouping of potential insiders. 5. Nuclear Security Measures to Address Insiders This set of sessions will discuss nuclear security measures that may assist in the prevention and protection against insider activities. The role that various components of the nuclear security system such as physical protection, NMAC, safety, operations, etc. play in addressing the insider threat will be discussed. Preventive nuclear security measures such as the screening of potential employees and how they help to address the insider issue will be presented. Protective measures, including physical protection and NMAC, and their role against the insider threat will be discussed. 2

3 6. Evaluation Methodology A methodology for the evaluation of the nuclear security system against various activities of an insider adversary will be discussed during this session. Scenario development and evaluation, including the development of timelines and sequences of actions, will also be discussed along with response and mitigation strategies. 7. Exercises A series of exercises will be conducted throughout the course to demonstrate the concepts introduced in each of the sessions. A hypothetical facility will be introduced to the participants as the basis for the exercises. These practical exercises will require the use of all the major concepts presented in the course, resulting in reinforcement and a review of the evaluation process for the nuclear security system against insider activities. Application procedure: Nominations should be submitted using the attached Nomination Form. Complete forms should be endorsed by the competent national authority (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Atomic Energy Authority or the office of the United Nations Development Programme) and returned through the established official channels. They should be marked for the attention of the Division of Nuclear Security, Department of Nuclear Safety and Security, IAEA, Vienna International Centre, PO Box 100, 1400 Vienna, Austria (Fax: ), and must be received at the IAEA not later than 7 March Applications sent directly by individuals or by private institutions will not be considered.
