Nuclear Security Education and Training

Tuesday, 18 September 2012

M Building

Meeting Room M4

8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.

Nuclear Security Education and Training The event seeks to make States aware of the developments over the past year in the

fields of nuclear security education and training, in particular the development of the

European Master’s Degree in Nuclear Security, the establishment of the nuclear

security support centres network and assistance available to States wishing to set up

support centres. The event will give examples of training courses delivered through

the Agency.




Development of a Metal Recycling Code of Conduct


M Building

Meeting Room M4

9:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.

Development of a Metal Recycling Code of Conduct The metal recycling sector has a large international dimension involving substantial

transboundary movement of scrap metal and semi-finished products of the metal

recycling industries. Unfortunately, radioactive material is often inadvertently

incorporated into scrap metal and semi-finished products that are subsequently

shipped across national borders without the knowledge of the exporting or importing

State.

Since 2010, the Secretariat has been facilitating the development for Member States

of a Metal Recycling Code of Conduct that is intended to assist in establishing an

international consensus on provisions to prevent such transboundary movement. A

draft Metal Recycling Code of Conduct that was the product of the second open-

ended meeting on its development was circulated to Member States for comment in

April 2012.

The objective of this side event is to inform Member States about this important

initiative and to allow the Secretariat to receive feedback from its Member States.

This event is being hosted by the Government of Finland.




15th Anniversary of the Ibero-American Forum



ACV Hall E2

9:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon

Fifteen Years of the Ibero-American Forum of Radiological and Nuclear

Regulatory Agencies (FORO) – Sharing Practices and Experiences in

Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety The event marking the 15th Anniversary of the Ibero-American Forum of Radiological

and Nuclear Regulators (FORO) will review the activities and achievements of this

Association of regulators in promoting a high level of radiation and nuclear safety and

security in the Ibero-American region. It will also look at the future by promoting

discussions on regional needs and sharing experiences. The session will end with a

round-table discussion. The language of the event will be Spanish.




Nuclear Security Peer Reviews and Advisory Services


M Building

Meeting Room M4

11:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon

Nuclear Security Peer Reviews and Advisory Services as a Tool for

Needs Identification

The purpose of this event is to make Member States aware of the value of IAEA peer

reviews and advisory services, inter alia, for identifying nuclear security needs and

best practices. The meeting will also highlight the outcome of recent IPPAS missions.




Event Reporting for Medical Exposures


M Building

Meeting Room M4

12:45 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.

Event Reporting for Medical Exposures There is a gross lack and even an absence of reporting of radiation events in medical

exposure in most countries, despite regulatory requirements to report. Events leading

to injuries to patients have been occurring in many countries, not only in radiotherapy

but also in the use of procedures that replace surgery (interventional procedures

using fluoroscopy).

The objectives of this event are: (1) to review the importance of learning lessons from

radiation events in medicine in order to enhance safety for the patients; and (2) to

review opportunities to share information in practice, through IAEA-developed

international voluntary reporting systems for educational purposes in interventional

procedures (SAFRAD) and radiotherapy (SAFRON).




Visits to the Individual Monitoring Lab

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 18, 19 & 20 September 2012

Registration and Assembly Point: Information Desk/M Building

Maximum of 20 visitors daily

1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Visits to the Accredited Testing Laboratory for Individual Monitoring Delegates (or persons designated by them) will have the opportunity to visit the

Accredited Testing Laboratory located in the VIC for individual monitoring.

The Radiation Monitoring and Protection Service assesses the occupational exposure

of IAEA staff and contracted experts for external sources of radiation and intakes of

radionuclides, and provides assistance to Member States through fellowships and

technical advice. The visit offers a view of the Whole Body Counter as well as all

other laboratories, for instance those used for urine analyses and gamma, alpha and

beta spectrometry.

Registration for this visit should be made at the Information Desk, M Building

entrance, ground floor. The assembly point for delegates is the Information Desk at

the entrance to the M building. Owing to space constraints, a maximum of 20 visitors,

can visit the laboratory each day.




ANSN Plenary Meeting

Wednesday, 19 September 2012

M Building

Meeting Room M0E79

2:00 p.m.– 5:30 p.m.

ANSN Plenary Meeting

The objectives of the ANSN Plenary Meeting are: (1) to facilitate the establishment of

safety infrastructures for nuclear power programmes within individual Member States

and capacity building within the region via strong commitment from high level

management within ANSN member states; (2) to serve as a top decision making

authority and assist in the formulation of national strategies related to implementation

of The Vision of ANSN for the Year 2020; and (3) to provide a forum to discuss needs

and perspectives as well as to disseminate and share good practices and

achievements.

Organized each year during the General Conference, this meeting is a forum for

senior government officials from Member States to exchange information and

experience on current policy and technical issues and challenges related to regulatory

matters in the fields of nuclear, radiation, transport and radioactive waste safety and

nuclear security.

Session I: Best Practices in Planning for Remediation;

Effectively Independent and Robust Regulators of Nuclear Power The Department of Nuclear Safety and Security, together with concerned Member

States, will provide an overview of the RCF, including background and objectives,

recent activities and results from the RCF Programme evaluation. The IAEA will

present its support activities for countries embarking on nuclear power. In addition,

RCF members will provide their perspectives on the benefits of the RCF. The RCF

aims to facilitate and promote the coordination, collaboration and exchange of

regulatory knowledge and experience among Member States involved in nuclear

power, and to effectively facilitate the channelling of resources from Member States

willing to provide support to those Member States building independent and robust

regulators of nuclear power.
