INMM Workshop: Policy and Technical Fundamentals of International Nuclear Safeguards

WHEN: Sunday, July 12, 2020 from 2:30pm-5:45pm EST

WHERE: Online in conjunction with the Annual INMM Meeting

WHO & WHAT: This workshop will provide participants with a basic overview of nuclear safeguards, including:

  • the nuclear fuel cycle
  • safeguards treaties and legal issues
  • safeguards approaches
  • safeguards application for nuclear facilities
  • nuclear material control and accounting

The majority of the coursework for the workshop will be completed online with a half-day virtual panel session to be conducted at the Annual Meeting of the INMM. This is an excellent opportunity for students to receive a sound foundation in safeguards and interact with some of the world experts in the field.

ANTICIPATED SPEAKERS: Jill Cooley, Shirley Johnson, Dunbar Lockwood, Therese Renis, Laura Rockwood, and Michael Whitaker

ONLINE MODULES: Participants will complete the following online modules offered by the Center for Nuclear Security Science and Policy Initiatives (NSSPI) at Texas A&M University:

  • Introduction to Nuclear Security and Safeguards
  • The Nuclear Fuel Cycle
  • Introductory Statistics
  • Nuclear Material Accountancy
  • Containment and Surveillance
  • Spent Nuclear Fuel Safeguards
  • Uranium Enrichment Safeguards
  • Applied Statistics for Safeguards

LIVE SESSION: The virtual panel session will consist of speakers giving additional lectures on a number of topics related to international safeguards, with time allotted for a panel discussion and for addressing questions posed by the participants. The speakers are international safeguards experts and professionals with current or recent experience in policy, technical implementation, and/or inspections.

CREDIT: Upon completion of both the online and face-to-face portions of the workshop, participants will be awarded 3 continuing education units from Texas A&M University, along with a professional certificate issued by the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station.

Participants completing the entire program will earn 3 CEUS and a Professional Certificate

Student Scholarships– there will be a set number of scholarships available to waive the registration cost. If you are interested, email Kelly Ragusa (kelleyragusa@tamu.edu) for details and requirements.
