Abstract: The Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been providing nuclear security human resource development support targeting nuclear emerging countries in Asia in cooperation with the concerned organizations such as the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In the aftermath of the attacks of Sept. 11, the threat of nuclear terrorism was internationally recognized. As a result, the human resource capacity building technique that ISCN has implemented thus far needs to be analyzed in order to develop more effective training programs. This poster introduces the training techniques and achievements ISCN has made through its nuclear security training courses, including the attempts it has made at the international training course on transportation security, which ISCN co-organized with IAEA in November 2015. Through these examples, furthermore, this poster not only demonstrates the support Japan has been providing to nuclear emerging countries in Asia for the purpose of strengthening their nuclear security but also studies ISCN’s future direction by analyzing its achievements.
