The purpose of the workshop is to establish awareness of the need for an integrated system of physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities that is effective against such threats as radiological sabotage and theft of nuclear material. The workshop will familiarize participants with relevant international legal instruments; IAEA guidance and current physical protection concepts and technologies, as well as provide information that will assist participants in developing and implementing physical protection systems based on systems engineering, state-of-the-art technology and facility analysis. The workshop will consist of lectures and small-group working sessions. The workshop sessions are grouped and presented in a specific sequence, as this approach should be applied in an actual physical protection design and evaluation process. During the small-group sessions, the participants will apply the concepts introduced in the lecturers as they work through practical exercises on a hypothetical facility.

Please note only nominated participants will be granted access to the course material.
