WINS Workshop Announcement - Nuclear Material Control and Accountancy

WINS workshop announcement - Nuclear Material Control and Accountancy in Support of Nuclear Security

Dear member,

We are delighted to inform you that WINS is organising an International Best Practice Workshop on Nuclear Material Control and Accountancy in Support of Nuclear Security which will take place in Vienna, Austria, on June 16-17, 2015 and that registration is now open for this event.

The workshop will provide participants, amongst others, with the opportunity to review the essential roles of nuclear material control (NMC) and nuclear material accountancy (NMA) in nuclear security, to assess the contribution of MC&A measures to nuclear security at each stage of the life cycle of a facility, and to discuss opportunities for mitigating insider threats through material control and material accountancy. Participants will go through case studies of unauthorised removal scenarios in bulk handling and item facilities and will also benefit from lessons learned from other sectors.

The workshop will be held in English and will draw only on unclassified information. In line with WINS’ innovative approach to Best Practice Workshops, this event will be interactive and professionally facilitated. More details can be found in the workshop announcement and the preliminary programme attached to this email. Please note that participation will be limited, so please let us know as soon as possible if you wish to attend this event.

Should you have any questions about this workshop, please do not hesitate to contact my colleague, Bettina Lock: bettina.lock@wins.org.

Thank you and I am looking forward to seeing you soon. 

Sincerely,

Your WINS team
