Description
The U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration’s International Nuclear Safeguards Engagement Program (INSEP) has built longstanding relationships with international partners for over two decades. In recent years, DOE/NNSA has reinvigorated and refocused INSEP’s activities. This presentation will discuss the span and scale of INSEP’s engagement activities around the world, the partnerships that INSEP relies upon, and the outcomes that INSEP seeks to achieve. INSEP is much more than a training program—DOE/NNSA’s overarching goal for INSEP is that engagements should contribute to more effective and efficient IAEA safeguards implementation globally. Advancing this goal necessitates close coordination and mutual trust with the IAEA, regional inspectorates and networks, and partner countries. DOE/NNSA works with its partners proactively to identify safeguards implementation challenges and develop practicable solutions in consultation with the stakeholders. Drawing on internationally recognized expertise in the U.S. national laboratories, DOE/NNSA engages countries with limited quantities of nuclear material to countries with advanced fuel cycles and everything in between.
