Sommario/riassunto

This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) outlines the framework and guidelines for maintaining a nuclear security regime. It focuses on preventing and detecting unauthorized acts involving nuclear and radioactive materials, ensuring that these materials and associated facilities are managed and protected against criminal and unauthorized acts. The book emphasizes the importance of national and operational sustainability objectives, including legislative frameworks, risk assessment, human resource development, and fostering a robust nuclear security culture. It is intended for policymakers and professionals involved in nuclear security, providing best practices and consensus-based recommendations from IAEA member states to enhance nuclear safety and security globally.
