China's energy policies of Safety-Security Interface

The interface is an important element of both programs relative to ensuring public health and safety. With such importance being recognized, the Member States of International Atomic Energy Agency (hereinafter "IAEA") continue to encourage the IAEA to facilitate coordination of the safety-security interface. [1] The IAEA, as the global organization playing central role in efforts to strengthen nuclear safety and security, organized the Interface Group in 2017 comprising of the chairs of Nuclear Safety Standards Committee, the Radiation Safety Standards Committee, the Transport Safety Standards Committee, the Waste Safety Standards Committee and the Nuclear Security Guidance Committee. The Interface Group conducted a review a review of all document preparation profiles for Agency safety standards and nuclear security guidance publications to identify whether there were any safety and security interface. The importance of managing the interface between safety and security is being globally recognized and considerable amount of effort is being made. However, given the fact that the idea of the safety and security interface in Korean regulation is not specifically addressed in a coordinated fashion, it is considered necessary to establish a solid measure to coordinate the interface and its management. In the course of preparing this paper, the status of Korea and other countries' management of safety and security interface has been studied, and the proposal for Korean regulation's way forward will also be presented.
