The Implementation of Security Culture of Radioactive Source in BATAN's Facility: Applied Sampling Culture Indicator from IAEA CRP JO2007

The implementation of nuclear security culture assessment should consider the characteristics of the nuclear material to improve the security performance. This paper covers the experience of National Nuclear Energy Agency of Indonesia (BATAN) in implementing nuclear security culture self-assessment on special case of radioactive source associated facility. The assessment was limited in a scope of sampling on BATAN's Pasar Jumat Nuclear Facility. The program was carried out to serve as preliminary analysis of BATAN' nuclear security culture, specifically on radioactive sources, and also to serve as the introduction of nuclear security culture self-assessment concept to BATAN's Pasar Jumat Nuclear Facility self-assessment team. The sampling used survey method as one of the assessment tools. The survey used IAEA-CRP JO2007 as the base of culture indicator and with the theme of employee's vigilance towards radioactive source security. A total of ten (10) security culture characteristics and thirty (30) culture indicators are chosen from IAEA-CRP JO2007. Culture indicators were transformed into thirty (30) survey statements prior submitted to respondents as required by IAEA-Technical Guidance of NSS No. 28-T (Self-Assessment of Nuclear Security Culture in Facility and Activities). The survey form are given to 19 respondents from various background at five work unit is located in Pasar Jumat Nuclear Facility, Jakarta, resulting in the average total indicators score of 3.92 out of 5. Early three tiered outcome model analysis indicated facility's security strength and weakness is balanced. Because of shortage of respondents, therefore further analysis and ¬full-scale assessment is needed to support the result of survey sampling. Keywords: radioactive source, security, security culture, self-assessment. The technical guidance NSS No. 28-T is very important to evaluate the implementation of security culture at facility, in the meantime IAEA-CRPJO2007 is also very useful to contribute culture characteristics and culture indicators for source users when we conduct self-assessment. Self assessment is consider as learning curve that mean we have to continue to have self-assessment after 24 months. In this result we can define the baseline for enhancing future nuclear security culture. (author)
