Nuclear forensics

Abstract

Education and training in all levels, in nuclear security, show up as an important tool to the prevention, detection and response to theft, sabotage, unauthorized access, illegal transfer or other malicious acts involving nuclear material or radioactive substances and associated facilities. The responsibility for establishment, implementation, and maintenance of nuclear security within a State rests entirely with that State. Appropriate training and education at all levels and in all relevant organizations and facilities can play a major role in this process. In order to achieve this goal it is necessary to establish a systematic and comprehensive program for education and training based on well-established international experience.
