  1. The U.S. Support Program (USSP) to IAEA Safeguards Advanced Sensors for Safeguards Workshop April 23, 2007

  2. U.S. SUPPORT PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To Transfer Technology Available in the United States to Increase the Effectiveness and Efficiency of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Department of Safeguards.

  3. INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY Director General M. ElBaradei NUCLEAR SCIENCES & APPLICATIONS TECHNICAL COOPERATION NUCLEAR SAFETY and SECURITY NUCLEAR ENERGY ADMINISTRATION SAFEGUARDS

  4. Department of Safeguards Deputy Director General for Safeguards Division of Operations A Division of Technical Services (SGTS) Division of Concepts and Planning (SGCP) Division of Operations B Division of Safeguards Information Management (SGIM) Division of Operations C

  5. U.S. SUPPORT PROGRAM Established in 1977 Policy oversight provided by the Subgroup on Safeguards Technical Support (SSTS) One of 18 Member State Support Programs

  6. International Safeguards Project Office (ISPO) Established at BNL in 1977 Technically and administratively manages the Support Program to IAEA Safeguards Eight staff members at BNL One staff member in Vienna

  7. International Safeguards Project Office Works closely with: Subgroup on Safeguards Technical Support (SSTS) IAEA Dept of Safeguards U.S. National Laboratories U.S. Private Sector (Contractors) Other Member State Support Program Representatives

  8. U.S. Support Program to IAEA Safeguards REQUESTS APPROVAL U.S. Interagency (DOE, State, DoD, NRC) IAEA Mission IMPLEMENTATION ISPO Assistance National Laboratories U.S. Private Sector Cost-Free Experts & Junior Professional Officers

  9. International Safeguards Project Office Reviews all IAEA requests for assistance Recommends action to SSTS Monitors active tasks Verifies task completion Contracting with private sector (Preferred Option) Recruits U.S. citizens for IAEA Safeguards positions Conducts Road-mapping Workshops

  10. Road-mapping Workshops Data Communication Technologies (October 1999) Information Security (October 2000) Design and Testing for High Reliability (October 2001) Standardization and Integration of Unattended and Remote Monitoring Systems (October 2002) Turning Information into Knowledge (October 2004) Safeguards Tools of the Future (October 2005) Advanced Sensors for Safeguards (April 2007)

  11. USSP Priorities(updated annually) Quality Management Human Resources and Training Destructive Analysis Containment and Surveillance Safeguards Concepts and Implementation Information Technology, Collection, and Analysis

  12. Quality Management Activities Support the implementation of a comprehensive QMS that will provide sound safeguards conclusions Cross-functional quality management program Life cycle approach to equipment management Quality assurance and quality control Continual process improvement Product quality improvement ISO 9001 (CFE Provided)

  13. Human Resources and Training Ensure an appropriate mixture of regular staff and extrabudgetary experts who are qualified to meet the IAEA’s technical needs. Strengthened recruitment of US citizens for SGs posts Provide appropriate training to improve the technical basis and specific skills needed to perform their job functions. Development of New Courses (Mostly Inspector Related) Curriculum re-engineering Redefinition of the role of SG inspectors

  14. Destructive Analysis Strengthen the IAEA’s ability to use destructive analysis, particularly environmental sample analysis, as a safeguards tool SAL Feasibility Study Information Management System Upgrade Staff to support Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy

  15. Containment and Surveillance Maintain or improve the reliability and cost-effectiveness of C/S systems for IAEA safeguards; expand the number of systems that are UNARM; and develop verification methods that help streamline the on-site inspection processes. Next Generation Surveillance System Seals upgrade projects SW and HW configuration control and standardization

  16. Safeguards Concepts and Implementation Support the development and implementation of safeguards approaches and verification measures that address the IAEA’s challenges of integrated safeguards and unique facilities. Consultants Novel Technologies JMOX

  17. Information Technology, Collection and Analysis Support the IAEA in achieving an integrated and efficient safeguards information infrastructure. Junior Professional Officers for collection and analysis NVision development project IAEA SGs Information System Re-engineering Project Satellite imagery

  18. USSP Contractors INL PNNL ANL, NBL Sonalysts LLNL BNL Space Imaging Stat-a-Matrix LANL SNL Wyle ORNL Time Solutions Canberra Albuquerque Cap Gemini Ernst & Young IBM AWST

  19. International Safeguards Project Office What can ISPO do for you? Answer questions related to IAEA requests Facilitate resolution of issues with the IAEA Country clearance cables for foreign travel Hotel reservations in Vienna Help with IAEA job opportunities
