Notably absent from this discussion is the field of nuclear security. Despite its historical underpinnings as an inherently domestic activity, nuclear security is thoroughly grounded in international treaty law. However, nuclear security is often overlooked in the international security context and has not been well-situated in international instruments that address gender equality. We argue that gender equality in nuclear security should be understood as an important component of broader efforts to achieve equal opportunities for women in work and is critical to ensuring women are included in conflict prevention efforts. Linking nuclear security to broader international efforts to increase gender equality in security and conflict prevention will provide a clearer structure and framework for gender equality initiatives in the nuclear security field. This link is critically important given that estimates indicate that women comprise only 20% of the nuclear workforce. Moreover, situating nuclear security in a broader international legal framework will simultaneously help states meet their gender equality commitments emanating from other instruments.","PeriodicalId":36043,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Security","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135448777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Nuclear Security in Conflict Zones: The Dangerous Case of Zaporizhzhia","authors":"Maria Kurando","doi":"10.7290/ijns372553","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7290/ijns372553","url":null,"abstract":"As critical components of a state’s energy supply, nuclear power plants (NPPs) can become strategic and tactical targets in military conflicts—or can suffer collateral damage as a result of shelling in the vicinity. Military action jeopardizes the peaceful use of nuclear facilities and hinders their safe and secure operation, increasing the risks of dangerous forces releases. Nuclear security constitutes defense against a vast range of threats, such as theft and illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials, their use by non-state actors, nuclear and radiological terrorism, and attacks on nuclear facilities. However, the case of hostilities around Zaporizhzhia NPP in Ukraine signals the emergence of a new, particularly dangerous threat that nuclear security has not explicitly addressed before—a threat from a state actor. Although this hazard has been considered in the framework of international humanitarian law, particularly in Additional Protocols I and II to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, the ongoing attacks on Ukrainian nuclear facilities reveal the absence of effective international mechanisms to mitigate critical incidents such as the one currently unfolding in Ukraine. This article explores the shortcomings of existing international mechanisms addressing the protection of civil nuclear installations during wartime and presents paths for their improvement. The article also emphasizes the necessity of developing multilateral and additional bilateral safety and security measures for times of conflict, as well as international standards to ensure the fulfillment of a state’s nuclear security responsibilities.","PeriodicalId":36043,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Security","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135448782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To fill this gap, educators in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University developed a series of radiation detection experiments for their remote students. Radiation detection is only one piece of nuclear security. The objective of the current research is to describe the development and execution of three online laboratories that investigate the basic application of physical security sensors that use light, ultrasonics, and heat to detect adversaries. This laboratory complements lecture material from the department’s Nuclear Security System and Design course. Using the Remote Desktop Application, students connect to a laboratory computer at Texas A&M to control the apparatus and record data. The sensors from a LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Education Core set were employed because of their ease of connectivity and their ability to show in a simplistic way how more complex security systems use light, ultrasonics, and heat. Additionally, LabVIEW software was used to control ethernet stepper motors for lateral and rotary motion to move sensors and other apparatus. The three laboratories are described in detail in addition to their learning objectives and results.","PeriodicalId":36043,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Security","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135446991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
