China's Nuclear Security Technology Centre supports international training efforts (Russian Edition)

Accounting for mock nuclear material and its residues to confirm that nothing has been stolen, shooting laser pistols at moving human-shaped targets and climbing over wired fences. These are just a few of the training exercises performed at China's State Nuclear Security Technology Centre (SNSTC) on the outskirts of Beijing. The Centre is part of the International Network for Nuclear Security Training and Support Centres (NSSC Network), which is coordinated by the IAEA and plays a key role in international cooperation and the sharing of best practices in nuclear security. Since the Centre of Excellence, operated by the SNSTC, opened in 2016, over 3000 participants, including 800 from abroad, have completed its national and regional training courses. The participants comprise staff from nuclear facilities, including nuclear power plants and law enforcement agencies, and the courses deal with all aspects of nuclear security, such as the prevention of terrorist attacks and sabotage, as well as how to deal with them should they occur.
