“…Considering all sequence levels, the total risk, R, is expressed as follows: (4) μ = The number of sequences leading to consequence, P DCj = The probability of release reduction by the damage control measures, q jk = The probability of completion of the k th event in sequence j, η j = The number of discrete events in sequence j.…”

“…was pointed out recently in [4], and the Safeguards by Design (SBD) approach has been discussed extensively. The international safeguards has been implemented by the IAEA, and the IAEA has clear responsibility for the verification activities for the state's compliance with the NPT treaties and agreements, while their role in safety and security is limited on regulatory standardization.…”

The peaceful use of nuclear energy has been pursued for more than half a century, and even after the catastrophic disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, a new market in East Asia has been growing from the viewpoint of stable supply of nuclear energy. Countermeasures against malicious aircraft attacks have been introduced worldwide after the 9/11 terrorist attack in 2001 as synergies between safety and security. Although safeguards and security communities have different histories and technical aspects compared to safety, not only the mitigation plans as emergency preparedness but also a risk assessment as a supplement to the current requirements could be developed to promote synergism between safety, security, and safeguards (3S). The optimal installment of 3S countermeasures could be encouraged by a risk assessment to enhance reliability, robustness, and transparency of those facilities. One of the synergies of the integrated 3S risk assessment is a 3S by Design (3SBD) approach for new nuclear facilities. An introduction of 3SBD into the conceptual design stage increases regulatory effectiveness as well as operational efficiency and also reduces expensive and time-consuming retrofitting.

“…AREVA has labeled this concept 3SBD, for safeguards, security, and safety by design. 3 Also in October of 2008, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) hosted an international workshop to explore a concept that has now come to be known as Safeguards by Design (SBD). 4 Further, DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)-Office of Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS) launched a project in 2007 to develop the concept of SBD.…”

“…They suggest that synergistic benefits could be gained in the future with full implementation of a mature SBD process. 4 During the summer of 2009, the four commercial nuclear suppliers working within the DOE AFCI (Areva, BWXT, JNFL, and Energy Solutions) reviewed and commented on the SBD High Level Framework Interim Report. Those comments, together with an assessment of their implication for the path forward, were published in the report Safeguards by Design: High Level Framework -An Evaluation of Industry Response.…”

Safeguards-by-Design (SBD) is a new approach to the design and construction of nuclear facilities in which nuclear safeguards provisions and features are designed into the facility from the very beginning of the design process. It is a systematic and structured approach for fully integrating international and national safeguards (MC&A), physical protection, and other barriers into the design and construction process for nuclear facilities, while integrating with safety and other project considerations. Because the successful implementation of SBD is primarily a project management and coordination challenge, this report focuses on that aspect.To improve the implementation of nuclear safeguards worldwide, the United States National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA's) Office of International Regimes and Agreements (NA-243) commissioned a U.S. DOE National Laboratory project team to study how SBD could be implemented. This is in support of the NNSA Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI). The long term objective is to promote the global implementation of SBD so that new nuclear facilities will be designed with nuclear safeguards, safety, and physical protection features incorporated into the facility. This will make new nuclear facilities safer, more secure, and more easily safeguarded. In addressing these issues early in the design stage, it will also be more cost effective, by avoiding the costly retrofits to accommodate these requirements after the facility starts up.In 2008, the SBD project team developed a high-level framework for institutionalizing SBD. As a result, the establishment of SBD as a global standard was found to depend on three pillars: 1) Requirements Definition, including the definition of requirements and criteria for successful safeguards performance, 2) Design Processes, including project management and coordination, and 3) Design Toolkit, including the technology and methodology used in the design and assessment of performance against requirements. These in turn were seen as resting on the foundation of Institutionalization, including education, outreach, training, and standardization. Each of these areas is vital to successfully establish SBD as a global standard.The present report continues the work begun in 2008 and focuses on the design and construction process -specifically, project management and coordination. This includes project planning, definition, organization, coordination, scheduling, communication and interaction between the domestic and international safeguards authorities, facility builders, owner/operators, and other stakeholders during the design and construction of a nuclear facility. It further specifies the stages in an ideal nuclear facility design and construction project and identifies: 1) When safeguards design activities take place, 2) When safeguards stakeholders should be involved, 3) The interaction between safeguards requirements, analysis, and decision making relevant to plant design, and 4) The documents for recording this process, analysis, and de...
