Nuclear Security Culture for Practitioners: South Africa


The aim of this workshop is to help develop and measure nuclear security culture at nuclear and radiological facilities in South Africa. It is intended, in part, to build on the successes of the previous workshop “Ensuring a Secure Nuclear Infrastructure in South Africa” held in Johannesburg in December, 2012. This workshop will address a similar theme through examples from overseas organisations and share these experiences with the South African delegates. The goal is for participants take these experiences, and where appropriate incorporate the lessons learned into their home institutions. This workshop hopes to leverage the enthusiasm of some of the attendees of the previous workshop including the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), iThemba LABS and Eskom who engage operators of South African nuclear and radiological facilities on the topic of nuclear security culture. The workshop is organized in cooperation by the Institute for Security Studies, University of Witwatesrand, and Partnership for Nuclear Security (US Department of State).
