While many countries use the NSS publications in their original English version, the IAEA is increasing accessibility of the series by translating it into all six official Agency languages. In addition to English, the Nuclear Security Fundamentals, the Recommendations and nearly all Implementing Guides are available in Arabic, French and Spanish. Projects are currently underway to translate these into Chinese and Russian.
The publications’ principal users are regulatory bodies and operator organizations for nuclear security as well as other relevant authorities, such as those involved in law enforcement and forensics, border control and customs and intelligence gathering. Other users include international organizations with responsibilities related to nuclear security; organizations that design, manufacture and operate nuclear facilities, and organizations involved in the use of radiation related technologies.
Aiming to increase States’ awareness of the broad range of guidance available in the NSS and about how the publications are used in practice by States and the Agency, the IAEA will soon offer a dedicated webinar on the structure and content of the NSS. Those interested in attending the webinar should register their interest by sending an email to [email protected].
