The US Department of Energy and the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority organised an online training between 22-25th March, about the fundamentals of the Physical Protection Systems. Participants were delegated to the event by the HAEA, the National Police Headquarters, the Counter Terrorism Centre, the Ministry of Defence and by the Hungarian nuclear facilities.


During the training the US instructors presented the basic steps and attributions of the planning and evaluation of the Physical Protection Systems, while the HAEA described the Hungarian nuclear security system’s legal background and regulatory requirements.

In the interactive sessions the participants could gain insight for example into the threat and risk management, the implementation of the detection and delay functions, the planning of the response and into the performance based evaluation methods.

On the closing day the US and Hungarian organisers thanked the work of the instructors, interpreters and other supporting personnel. They also expressed their hope, that the participants will be able to use the course material during their work, and they informed the participants on their plan to continue the cooperation by organizing more joint events in the future.
