Enhancing Nuclear Security Culture

Seoul Communiqué – Preamble(Major Principles)

Renew the political will generated from the 2010 Washington NSS … Defeating [nuclear terrorism] requires strong national measures and international cooperation …

Reaffirm our shared goals of nuclear disarmament, nuclear nonproliferation and peaceful uses of nuclear energy

Stress the fundamental responsibility of States to maintain effective security of all nuclear material

[Nuclear security] will not hamper the rights of States [for the peaceful use of nuclear energy]

Noting the nexus between nuclear security and nuclear safety, ... address ... in a coherent manner

4

1.Global nuclear security architecture

- Universal adherence to the amended CPPNM & ICSANT- Entry into force of the amended CPPNM by 2014- Wider participation in the GICNT- IAEA coordination conference on nuclear security in 2013

2. Role of the IAEA - Central role of the IAEA- Contribution to the IAEA NSF

3. Nuclear materials - Minimization of HEU/Pu- Voluntary announcement by 2013 of specific actions on HEU minimization- Converting research reactors and medical isotope production facilities from using HEU to LEU- Developing options for national policies on HEU management

Seoul Communiqué

Recognizing that investment in human capacity building is fundamental to promoting and sustaining a strong nuclear security culture, we encourage States to share best practices and build national capabilities, including through bilateral and multilateral cooperation. At the national level, we encourage all stakeholders, including the government, regulatory bodies, industry, academia, nongovernmental organizations and the media, to fully commit to enhancing security culture and to maintain robust communication and coordination of activities.

We also encourage States to promote human resource development through education and training. In this regard, we welcome the establishment of Centers of Excellence and other nuclear security training and support centers since the Washington Summit, and encourage the establishment of new centers.

Furthermore, we welcome the effort by the IAEA to promote networking among such centers to share experience and lessons learned and to optimize available resources. We also note the holding of the Nuclear Industry Summit and the Nuclear Security Symposium on the eve of the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit.

Nuclear Security Training Centers(CoEs)

Since the Washington Summit, countries are establishing Centers of Excellence (CoE) to enhance national nuclear security capabilities.

In addition to the six countries - China, India, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan and the Republic of Korea – which have announced plans to establish a CoE at the Washington Summit, around ten countries are either establishing a CoE or have plans in this regard.

On the occasion of their participation in the 2012 Seoul Nuclear Security Summit, Algeria, Australia, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Republic of Korea, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Pakistan, Philippines, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States(24) note their intent to collaborate in the form of the International Network for Nuclear Security Training and Support Centres (NSSCs) aiming to build up a cadre of highly qualified and well trained nuclear security personnel, provide specific technical support required for effective use and maintenance of instruments and other nuclear security technical systems, as well as provide scientific support for the etection of and the response to nuclear security events in a country.
