Description of the research topic:

Justification of the research topic:
(Precedents, actuality, etc.)
Pursuant to the definition of the Atomic Act the application of atomic energy means activities in connection with nuclear and other radioactive materials, equipment and facilities generating ionizing radiation and serving for the use of nuclear and other radioactive materials. The fundamental objective of regulatory supervision over the various uses of atomic energy is to avoid any damage to the people and the environment, without unduly limiting the operation of facilities and performance of activities entailing risks. Additionally, basic interest and obligation of the states operating nuclear facilities and using radioactive materials to guarantee the security of operation of nuclear facilities, and the use, storage and transport of nuclear and other radioactive materials with effective physical protection.

The physical protection of nuclear materials was grounded by the International Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Materials of 1980, which was signed and then ratified by Hungary with the Law Order 8 of 1987. Based on the experience gained in the meanwhile and the extension of the fight against terrorism, the Convention was modified with univocal agreement on a Diplomatic Conference held in Vienna in July 4-8, 2005. Hungary signed the Amendment among the first countries and then ratified it with Act LXII of 2008.

In order to facilitate the compliance with the Convention and the Amendment, the International Atomic Energy Agency published the INFCIRC/225rev.5 requirement level document on the physical protection of nuclear materials and nuclear facilities, which summarizes the elements of a state security regime, the categorization of nuclear materials, the physical protection requirements for nuclear materials in use, storage or transport, as well as the physical protection requirements of nuclear facilities against sabotage.

Objectives:
Research and development on the field of Nuclear Security.

Research methods:
Research, investigate and analyse the international and domestic legislative and technical background of Nuclear Security.
