摘要

The nuclear industry, like other major sectors, has been considerably impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, complicating the delivery of security. Nuclear operators have been forced to alter their working practices, regulators have had to modify important oversight mechanisms and international cooperation has been stymied. Simultaneously, threats have evolved, both in an effort to take advantage of these changes and due to the disruption and uncertainty the pandemic has caused. This has put pressure on nuclear security systems and necessitated a rapid rollout of new approaches. Although the delivery of nuclear security is a dynamic process, evolution is typically gradual, with new technologies, ways of working and assurance only integrated into existing systems after extensive development and testing. Unfortunately, this was simply not possible at the start of the pandemic due to its sudden onset. However, with the situation now stabilising in many countries, it is the right time for industry, governments and international organisations to take stock and carefully consider the long-term viability of the modifications made to their nuclear security programmes. Efforts in this area should take a holistic approach to assessing risk, weighing changes aimed at protecting health against their possible negative effects on security. Central to this should be careful consideration of how security culture may have been impacted, given its importance in protecting against cyber attacks and insiders - threats that have increased since the start of the pandemic. While some changes may need to be rolled back, others are likely to offer long-term efficiencies and should be further developed and promoted, such as the remote component of regulatory inspections. While in-depth assessments should be initiated at the organisational and national levels, there is also clear benefit to be had in the broader sharing of lessons learned delivering nuclear security during the pandemic, given the diversity of approaches taken by different countries. Consequently, this topic should be prioritised at key international forums such as the G7 Global Partnership and the upcoming review conference for the amended Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Materials. Discussions should identify challenges faced and how they have been overcome, while also considering strategies for ensuring that nuclear security remains effective in the face of future crises.
