Revising Australia's Design Basis Threat

Australia's Design Basis Threat (DBT) was revised in 2012, ten years after the previous review. Using the IAEA's Nuclear Security Series Guidance document on DBTs the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office used an interagency process to devise a series of threat profiles which were distilled into the final DBT. Challenges to the review process included setting the scope, treating insider, cyber and air-borne threats, and interpretation of the final product. (author)
