Background

When it comes to nuclear facilities, there is a constant need to consider the evolving threat situation and to have people, systems and processes in place that constantly evaluate threats. This includes where threats may come from, what the threats may be, and how threats can be mitigated to reduce the risk and probability of an incident occurring that has the potential to impact the security of nuclear or other radioactive material.
Objectives
The aim of this webinar series was to learn what is being done to counteract threats from experts working in the nuclear security field. This series also aimed to shed light on new ideas and ways of thinking that should be considered to minimise the risk and mitigate threats.
