Developing Regulations and Associated Administrative Measures for Nuclear Security. Implementing Guide (French Edition)

This publication aims to assist States to identify the responsibilities of those involved in nuclear security so that suitable regulations, agreements and associated administrative measures may be developed for establishing and sustaining an effective nuclear security regime. The publication is structured to provide an overview of the most important aspects to be covered by a State's legislative and regulatory framework for governing nuclear security: General regulatory activities for nuclear security; Threat assessment; Security of information; Detection of nuclear and other radioactive material out of regulatory control; General aspects of preparedness for and response to nuclear security events; Offences and penalties related to nuclear security, including criminalization. States may therefore use this publication to undertake a gap analysis of their legislative and regulatory framework for nuclear security in order to take actions to update their framework as necessary.
