1 Yosuke NAOI Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) Said ABOUSAHL EC/JRC 19th Japan EU Conference September 23, 2016, Brussels 1

2 Starting with nuclear materials safeguards research and development in 1990 after concluding the agreement between JAERI (former organization of JAEA) and EURATOM After the first nuclear security summit in 2010, collaboration topics enlarged to nuclear security, such as R&D on nuclear material detection, nuclear forensics, capacity building

3 2010 May, EU Started CBRN-COE initiative 2010 December, JAEA established Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) 2011 May : #20 EU-Japan Summit Joint Statement (Excerption) The EU and Japan will strengthen cooperation on mitigation of radiological, nuclear other risks in other countries. This include exchanging information on the implementation of respective programmes, in particular the EU regional CBRN Centres of Excellence initiative and Japan s Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Security.

4 Nuclear safeguards, non-proliferation and security R&D Detection techniques Detection techniques using neutron interrogation and the other methods Nuclear Forensics Capacity building, training, technical support, in the areas of safeguards, security and non-proliferation Nuclear safeguards/security training Curriculum development Exchange of lectures Co-sponsor training Coordination of technical support to third countries

5 Challenge for particle like melted fuel by active neutron

6 EC/JRC - IRMM : neutron facilities JRC-IRMM major provider in Europe of ND for nuclear energy applications GELINA

7 NRD: Neutron Resonance Densitometry

8 Demonstration Experiments at GELINA in March 2015 Joint EURATOM / JAEA workshop 4 5 March 2015 JRC-IRMM, Geel, Belgium 50 participants Extensive delegation from Japan (JAEA, Univ. Kyoto & Nagoya) DG-ENER, JRC EU Member states Participants from IAEA, US (DOE, LANL, LLNL, ORNL) JAEA and JRC successfully demonstrated an innovative technique to characterize complex nuclear material

9 Demonstration Experiments at GELINA in March 2015 For NRTA unknown number of samples were placed in the box then sealed. Au, W, Rh, Cu, Co, Mn samples (plates) with different thicknesses were prepared. Unknown samples (plates) were placed in the box. Then measurement were performed. For NRCA/PGA unknown number of samples were placed in the box then sealed. By NRTA unknown samples were identified and quantities of elements were measured with difference less than 2%. By NRCA/PGA unknown samples were identified 9

10 Awarded JRC and JAEA received the 2016 "Award for Distinguished Technology Development", which is one of the most important Atomic Energy Society of Japan awards

11 A Picture of a Practical NRD System

12 Number of incidents Number of State Parties(TOTAL) Total 2,777 cases of nuclear security events reported to IAEA Illicit (Incident) Trafficking Data Base (ITDB) between 1993 and December 31, Number of incidents Number of State Parties(TOTAL) Year 0 Data Source : Mr. Jose GARCIA SAINZ, Nuclear Security Information Officer, Information Management Section, Division of Nuclear Security, Department of Nuclear Safety and Security, International Atomic Energy Agency 12

13 Nuclear Forensics(1) Nuclear forensics supports the prevention of and response to a nuclear security event May identify deficiencies in nuclear security systems (facility or a pathway) that can then be improved, aiding in the prevention of future nuclear security events Serves as a deterrent to illegal acts involving nuclear or other radioactive material Enhances the response to a nuclear security event May be combined with traditional forensics to support criminal investigations

14 Nuclear Forensics(2) Aim of the EC/JRC and JAEA collaboration is to improve the capabilities for developing the nuclear forensics technologies through information exchange, workshop and training. Institute for Trans-uranium Elements(ITU), EC/JRC and JAEA have participated in 4th Collaborative Materials Exercise (CMX-4) organized by International Technical Working Group on Nuclear forensics. CMX-4 data review meeting, hosted at JRC-ITU in Karlsruhe, March 2015

15 Capacity Building Support(1) Exchange of lecturers 8 times from EU for JAEA hosted training/seminar in Japan, Malaysia, Lithuania, Ukraine and US for last 5 years 7 times from Japan for EURATOM hosted training/seminar in Italy, Malaysia and Thailand for last five years Newly developed synchronized training courses on safeguards from 2015 Firstly joined JAEA s two weeks safeguards/ssac training Then secondly some selected participants joined EC/Joint Research Center s NDA training in ITU-ISPRA, Italy Co-sponsor training Coordination of technical support to third countries

17 Good Practice on Capacity Building Workshop on Nuclear Security ~ for the enhanced nuclear security across the borders~ in Lithuania (2013) Co-hosted by: Lithuania Nuclear Security Centre of Excellence (NSCOE), EC Joint Research Centre (EC/JRC) and JAEA Cooperated by: US Department of Energy/ National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) Topics: Border security monitoring, exercises

18 Coordination of Technical Support to Third Countries

19 Renewed the agreement In May 2016, the two parties decided to amend the JAEA/EURATOM R&D agreement to extend its duration for additional 5 years and to include cooperation in the field of information exchange on characterization techniques required for decommissioning of reactors, spent fuel, and radioactive waste; containments and surveillance; process monitoring; and coordination of technical support to third countries.
