  1. In-depth training course on expert support for Bolivia, Colombia and Venezuela(In the framework of the implementation of complex projects related to securing radioactive material out of state regulatory control)Introduction to the course Non Destructive Assay Section Department of Safeguards, IAEA 31 March – 11 April 2014

  2. Training course goal • To provide relevant expert organizations with in-depth knowledge on the implementation of nuclear security of material out of regulatory control • To provide relevant expert organizations with practical know-how and tools for an efficient and effective expert support to Front-Line Officers

  3. Objectives • Familiarize with the background and framework for Nuclear Security of material out of regulatory control • Understand the need for well-defined concept of operation and standard operating procedures based on decision criteria • Familiarize with operation and testing /troubleshooting of radiation detection equipment • Familiarize with identification of radionuclides based on their gamma spectra, and quantitative assessment of material (activity estimation) • Practice detection scenarios

  4. Course structure • Course Introduction – 0.5 days • General background and framework for Nuclear Security of material out of regulatory control– 0.5 days • Concept of operations, response scheme and response criteria – 1.5 days • Equipment operation – 1.5 days • Equipment functionality testing and troubleshooting – 2 days • Identification of spectra, quantitative assessment – 1.5 days • Practical exercises (scenarios) – 1 day • Test and discussions – 0.5 day • Exit discussions, feedback, etc. – 0.5 day Certification of trainees who successfully passed the assessment

  5. Certification • 100 % presence during the training • Active participation in all theoretical and practical drills • At least 80 % of correct answers for the final test

  6. Our team for preparing and conducting the course • Daming Liu and Carlos Nogueirade Oliveira, NSNS • Mikhail Mayorov, SGTS/NDAS • Stefan Jung, SGTS/NDAI • Michael Gerstmayr, SGTS/NDAS • Sergey Markin, SGTS/NDAI • Shahnoza Arzikulova, SGTS/TND • Yannick Dodane, SGTS/NDAS

  7. What is MEST? • Mobile Expert Support Team • MEST is a service (like maintenance) • MEST is a critical element of BME system • must be established before the system goes live • MEST is involved in operational and tactical response to radiation alarm: • Material categorization (legal or not); • Recovery • MEST is designed to match operational constraints of FLO (e.g. 24/7 on-call, 30 min response time, etc.)

  8. What MEST should do? • Be available to provide continuous, effective and efficient service for FLOs • Have necessary knowledge on legal and technical matters • Have technical abilities to attribute material and timely answer the two questions: • Is detected material legal to transport? • Why?

  9. Questions?
