SUBJECT: INFORMATION RELATED TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SAFEGUARDS FELLOWSHIP SEMINAR IN THE UNITED STATES
1. (U) This is an informational cable.
Unclassified - entire text.
2. (U) SUMMARY: The United States Department of Energy
(DOE)/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is
sponsoring a three-week seminar on international nuclear
safeguards from May 2, 2009 to May 23, 2009, in the United
States (Seattle, WA; Richland, WA; Oak Ridge, TN) for
students from countries planning to establish nuclear power
programs. Post-graduate students from Algeria, Egypt,
Morocco, Tunisia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia
will be invited to participate in the seminar, which will
focus on fundamental issues, technologies, policies, and
potential career paths associated with international
safeguards. While no Embassy action is requested at this
time, Embassies will be requested to provide formal
invitations at the appropriate time. END SUMMARY
3. (U) BACKGROUND: The National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) of the United States Department of
Energy (DOE) plans to conduct a three-week seminar on
international nuclear safeguards from May 2, 2009 to May 23,
2009, in the United States (Seattle, WA; Richland, WA; Oak
Ridge, TN). The event, sponsored by NNSA's International
Nuclear Safeguards and Engagement Program (INSEP),will focus
on fundamental issues, technologies, policies, and potential
career paths associated with international safeguards.
4. (U) International safeguards are a fundamental, complex,
and demanding component of a transparent and effective civil
nuclear energy program. The training and education of the
next generation of international safeguards specialists has
therefore become an urgent concern not only to aspiring
nuclear countries, but also to the United States. In order
to help address this issue, INSEP plans to invite two
post-graduate students each from Algeria, Egypt, Morocco,
Tunisia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia to
participate in a three-week seminar to learn about
fundamental issues and best practicies associated with
international safeguards.
5. (U) As part of the three-week seminar, participants will
visit the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Oak Ridge
National Laboratory where technical and policy experts from
the United States will provide briefings and lead a variety
of discussion groups and hands-on exercises to reinforce
major learning objectives. INSEP will also invite one expert
each from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),the
National Nuclear Energy Commission of Brazil (CNEN),the
Argentine Nuclear Regulatory Authority (ARN),and the
Brazilian-Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of
Nuclear Materials (ABACC) to participate in portions of the
seminar as lecturers. INSEP maintains productive
partnerships with CNEN, ARN, and ABACC, and this seminar
presents an opportunity to demonstrate the value of
international cooperation to emerging nuclear countries,
while stressing the importance of international safeguards.
6. (U) INSEP intends to use existing program contacts at the
appropriate agencies in the invited countries to identify
prospective post-graduate students for the seminar, but all
invitations will come through the Embassies in the respective
countries. Any questions should be directed to Ms. Margot
Mininni (margot.mininni@nnsa.doe.gov 202-586-8690) and Mr.
Matthew Van Sickle (matthew.vansickle@nnsa.doe.gov
202-586-2859) at DOE/NNSA/NA-242.
