Severe accidents of nuclear systems by natural disasters, nuclear terrorism and proliferation of nuclear weapon devices by nations are the global threats to human beings. The course discusses the measures of nuclear security including physical protection from multiple aspects of legal and international frameworks as well as their supporting technologies. The course also explains the measures of nuclear non-proliferation including safeguards, comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty, proliferation resistance from multiple aspects of legal and international frameworks as well as their supporting technologies. This course aims that students understand the fundamentals of nuclear safety, security and safeguards and their integration for bird-eye view of nuclear system against global threats.
