Description
Since 2018, the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics of Universitas Gadjah Mada has been conducted three days of the Introduction to Nuclear Security training for security officers, especially those on duty in Yogyakarta Special Province. The Police Chief of Yogyakarta Special Province fully supported the event to enhance their staff's knowledge because he just realized that there are some places in his work area that are utilizing the radioactive material. He sent more than fifteen persons every year to the training.
But, in 2020, classical training could not be done due to the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. For facing up the problem, the department arranged a nuclear security pocketbook. It is a 32 pages book containing a few words and graphic that explains the nuclear security in brief. The deficiency of this book compared to classical training is that it does not have practical activities, such as table-top exercise and radiation source detection practice. On the other hand, it can be read not only by Yogyakarta's security officer but also by the staff in the entire country.
The book was sent to the education and training center of the Republic of Indonesia's Police as well as to their forensic laboratory center and their special troops. They looked enthusiastic when they received the pocketbook because the contents are closely related to their duty. Therefore, we could conclude that the pocketbook has fulfilled their present need.
