IAEA training courses in nuclear security: IRSN actively contributes as a trainer
As part of France's contribution to the IAEA's activities, IRSN supports the Agency in a variety of ways, including participation in the training courses it provides to member states at their request, particularly in the field of nuclear security. This is an opportunity for the Institute to share its knowledge and expertise internationally.
As part of its International Training Courses (ITC), the IAEA provides nuclear security training on topics such as nuclear material accounting and control. In this area, IRSN is committed to making the most of its experience and knowledge, and contributes to the Agency's training programs. Each year, the Institute takes part as a lecturer in a course organized either regionally, as for example in Egypt in 2022 or in Japan in 2023, or in the international course regularly held in the United States on this topic.
It also takes part in training courses on the security of sources (Morocco 2022, Togo 2023, etc.).
In the same spirit, IRSN has finalized with the European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) the preparation of a nuclear security training module that has been integrated into the Safeguards Master's program at the Politecnico di Milano .
At the same time, the Institute is continuing its efforts to digitize its training materials, which began in 2021 with a view to developing distance learning in times of pandemic, and which will enable it to honor various contracts signed with the European Commission.
