ABSTRACT
ROLE OF PHYSICAL PROTECTION AND SAFEGUARDS TECHNOLOGY USED TO NUCLEAR MATERIAL SECURITY. The presence of nuclear materials at any nuclear facility must be in secure and must be known as safeguards purpose such as its position, form or type and amount. The clarification of the amount be reported to the national regulatory body and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as the international regulatory body. The national regulatory body and IAEA will then verify that report. The verification must be done to know there is no difference of the amount, and to give the assurance to the international community that any diversion of safeguarded nuclear material from civil use to a prescribed military purpose would be detected. To carry out verification, several verification techniques such as non-destructive analysis, surveillance, unattended and remote monitoring and environmental sampling are explained to convey the impression how those techniques are implemented. According to the security requirement, the physical protection system including all components of physical protection system have to be effectively designed.
