2012 Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul - Achieving Sustainable Nuclear Security Culture

2012 Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul - Achieving Sustainable Nuclear Security Culture
The concept of a nuclear security culture emerged much later than the nuclear safety culture, which was triggered by human errors that led to the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and the Fukushima accidents. Security culture has gained acceptance as a way to keep terrorist groups from acquiring radioactive materials and prevent acts of sabotage against nuclear power infrastructures.
