An Integrated Approach to Nuclear Safety and Nuclear Security

1. An Integrated Approach to Nuclear Safety and Nuclear Security ABDUL SHAKOOR Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority

2. Outline • The need for integrated approach • The integartion of nuclear safety and nuclear security • The benefits of an Integrated approach • Development of an Integrated approach • Conclusion

3. Need for the Integration of Nuclear Safety & Nuclear Security • The security department needs assistance from other departments for ensuring the security of a nuclear facility. • Safety, Security and Emergency Management are interconnected and need convergence. • The security must be integrated into the organizational management and development.

4. Goal of Nuclear Safety Prevention Control Accidents Mitigation Public Workers Environment Malfunctions Human Errors

5. Goal of Nuclear Security Unauthorized access Prevention Protection Mitigation Theft Public Workers Environment Diversion sabotage Other malicious acts

6. The Integrated Approach • Nuclear safety and security managements must be considered throughout the lifetime of the facility from design to decommissioning. • The barriers between safety and security must be overcome and an integrated approach to working and cooperating together must be established. Nuclear Safety NuclearSecurity

7. Benefits of Integration • Safety & security integration allows frequent meetings to discuss the design and implementation of safety and security features that work harmoniously; • An organization that takes an integrated approach to safety and security reduces risk of successful attack; • Makes operations more secure and ensures a united approach to crisis management.

8. Benefits of Integration Helps to identify potential vulnerabilities and opportunities to mitigate Research & Development Optimizes site selection, avoid expensive back-fitting to compensate for security vulnerabilities. Siting Design Construction Enables both departments to optimize the technology selection process and take the most optimal, cost-effective action Operations

9. Benefits of Integration Avoid program delays by ensuring that security sensitivities are identified and considered Decommissioning Optimize the final condition and storage of radioactive waste, thereby reducing its attractiveness to terrorists Radioactive Waste Management

10. Developing an Integrated Approach Deals with actions that Senior Management can take Deals with actions that Managers can take Deals with actions that can be taken to change the organisational beliefs, values and behaviour

11. Integration at Strategic Level • Encourage govt. policies that favor integration • Ensure that responsibilities are reflected for both safety & security within the management • Establish joint committee to independently review both departments • Create a policy giving equal weight to both departments and develop integrated management system. • Ensure adoption of an integrated approach to emergency planning, response and crisis management

12. Integration at Operational Level • At operational level, a committee should be created to integrate safety and security. • The committee should report the senior management and include senior representatives from: • Safety • Security • Operations • Design Engineering • Environmental protection • HRD, Finance

13. Integration at Cultural Level • Increase cooperation between safety and security • Numerous opportunities should be created to bring the two teams together • Both the teams should have facilitated meetings to describe their respective roles and discuss how they can help each other to resolve the issues. • Both the departments should invite each other for the demonstations.

14. Requirements for Management of Interfaces between Safety and Security • Assess and manage the potential for adverse effects on safety and security before implementing changes to plant configurations, facility conditions, or security. • The scope of changes to be assessed and managed must include planned and emergent activities • Where potential conflicts are identified, communicate them to appropriate level and take compensatory and/or mitigative actions to maintain safety and security.

15. The Bottom Line Integration of safety and security means that the managers and employees of both the departments develop positive, respectful relationships with each other, share problems and risks, and find mutually beneficial solutions.
