The identification and assessment of threats provides an essential basis for the selection, design, and implementation of nuclear security measures. For nuclear material and other radioactive material that is under regulatory control, and associated facilities and activities, the results of this identification and assessment are expressed as a design basis threat or representative threat statement describing the intentions and capabilities of potential adversaries against which the materials and associated facilities and activities are to be protected. An Implementing Guide was issued in 2009 under the title of Development, Use and Maintenance of the Design Basis Threat which was updated and revised. The result of this revision is the current publication. It provides a step-by-step methodology for conducting a national nuclear security threat assessment including both physical and computer security aspects, and for the development, use and maintenance of design basis threats and representative threat statements.

La determinación y la evaluación de amenazas sienta las bases esenciales para la selección, el diseño y la aplicación de medidas de seguridad física nuclear. En el caso de los materiales nucleares y otros materiales radiactivos sometidos a control reglamentario, así como de las instalaciones y actividades conexas, los resultados de esta determinación y evaluación se expresan como una amenaza base de diseño o una declaración de amenaza representativa en la que se describen las intenciones y capacidades de los posibles adversarios frente a las que se han de proteger los materiales y las instalaciones y actividades conexas. En 2009 se publicó una Guía de Aplicación titulada Development, Use and Maintenance of the Design Basis Threat, que fue actualizada y revisada. El resultado de dicha revisión es la presente publicación, que proporciona una metodología paso a paso para realizar una evaluación nacional de amenazas para la seguridad física nuclear que comprenda aspectos de seguridad física e informática y para formular, usar y mantener amenazas base de diseño y declaraciones de amenazas representativas.

Nuclear security culture is an important component of an effective nuclear security regime, as it serves as a tool to improve the performance of the human component at nuclear facilities and organizations to counter both insider and outsider threats. Security culture connotes not only the technical proficiency of the people but also their awareness of security risks and motivation to follow established procedures, comply with regulations and take the initiative when unforeseen circumstances arise. A workforce made up of individuals who are vigilant, who question irregularities, execute their work diligently and exhibit high standards of personal and collective behaviour is able to achieve effective nuclear security. Building upon this understanding of the importance of a strong nuclear security culture, this publication provides practical guidance on how to implement a systematic nuclear security culture enhancement programme.
