Considerations on the 3S with focus on security-safeguards interfaces Paula Karhu Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) Finland paula.karhu@stuk.fi Conference Nuclear Power Safety Regulation Challenges to commemorate the 20 th anniversary of Lithuanian State Nuclear Power Safety Inspectorate (VATESI) Vilnius, 10 November 2011
Why 3S Safety, security, and safeguards 1. aim at a common objective, 2. share a great proportion of their control measures, 3. have some conflicting requirements, benefit from a coordinated approach 2
Synergies of security and safeguards (nationally) Common motivation: to secure material and information Safeguards: counter-proliferation, deterrent through material accountancy and control designed to prevent and detect diversion regulatory control of nuclear materials: system audits, unannounced inspections, short notice inspections, material verification, trade analysis export control (NSG) Security: prevention and detection of and response to unlawful activities intelligence and analysis, threat assessment, DBT, regulatory control, emergency preparedness, border control, law enforcement and combating crime as a whole physical protection system (PPS) at nuclear facilities and for nuclear materials to detect, delay and respond to unlawful activity (theft, sabotage) 3

Why coordination To take advantage of the similarities and to avoid the problems of conflicting requirements clarity of motivation (why) clarity of responsibilities (who) coordination of requirements (what) coordination of implementation (how) balance 7

Coordination at different levels state level: legislation, assignment of responsibilities, setting of regulatory requirements and supervising that they are complied with; operator systems level: management system, top-management commitment, planning and design, safety and security culture; operator measures level: material accountancy, access control, containment, waste management, emergency preparedness, information management international level IAEA framework of reference documents (NSS) IAEA advisory services (IPPAS, ISSAS...) transfer of knowledge, sharing of experience, 3S from design phase to final disposal improvement, transparency, understanding, demonstration of proficiency, trust 12
3S in summary Protecting people, society, environment, and future generations from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation Safetyensures safe operation, low probability of accidents, preparedness and response to accidents; Security and safeguardsprovide protection against intentional acts (theft, sabotage, proliferation) through deterrence, prevention, detection, delay and response. 13
