The international training course on the physical protection of nuclear facilities and materials

Journal of Nuclear Materials Management

Matter, John C.

Education and training are the foundation for a state's development and maintenance of an indigenous capability to conduct a nuclear energy and research program, from both the regulatory perspective and the licensee or operator perspective. The International Training Course on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Facilities and Materials (ITC) is the original international training program in the area of physical protection of nuclear material, which the United States has been conducting since 1978. This course focuses on a systems engineering performance-based approach to requirements definition, design, and evaluation for physical protection systems. During the first twenty-one presentations of ITC, more than 600 national experts from more than sixty International Atomic Energy Agency member states were trained. This paper describes the content, structure, and process of ITC.
