II. Improving the Security of Nuclear Materials at INP

Training

The Department of Energy provided several MPC&A training courses for INP officials. These courses provide hands-on training in U.S. approaches and methodologies to physical protection system design and analysis and equipment maintenance and use. In addition, INP guard force personnel received equipment and training. These MPC&A training activities markedly enhance the overall security posture of the facility by providing an interface between the protective force, physical security systems and material control and accounting systems.
