فرهنگ پادمان هسته ای: نقش و مسئولیت

The nuclear and radiological regulatory body [RB] in a State is the official authority in that State to control nuclear materials [NMs] and other radioactive materials [RMs] and all nuclear facilities in that State. In such capacity the RB may use information about the quantity, type and characteristics of every and all NMs and RMs that may exist in nuclear and radiation facilities in the State, and the flow of such materials through those facilities inside or to outside the State. Elements of nuclear safeguards culture [SGC] would not replace these technical criteria. Rather, it would be aimed to raising awareness of nuclear safeguards [SG] requirements and functions, and strengthening technical capacity of staff to meet those requirements. This study proposes a definition and the task of SGC to the attention of national and international SG communities. The roles, responsibilities of various disciplines and organizations, and the public nuclear awareness could be enforced with SGC. This would improve the effectiveness and efficiency of SG implementation in the State.
