culture and threat in a country or region. These methods include table-top exercises
of mock research reactors, virtual modeling and videos based on case studies. It is
important to underscore the uniqueness of every facility, due to the aforementioned
components, infrastructure, culture and threat. One of the more successful train-
ing tools is the table-top exercise which adopts a traditional "red team versus blue
team" format, but in this case, every participant is a member of the "red team" and
the facility’s policies and procedures are the "blue team", in which is meant to be
exploited to identify its weaknesses. This specific tool will be described in detail and
can be available for further engagements.

Following the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979, the topic of Nuclear
Safety "Culture" has been relatively prevalent and an area of focus for the nuclear
regulatory community as well as the international community. In recent years, with
the increased visibility of security incidents, the concept of "Nuclear Security Culture"
has become an area of focus, especially as many nations consider introducing nuclear
power into their energy plan. Nuclear Security Culture is not easy to evaluate and,
often times, uses the self-assessment method to gauge the level of understanding
and receptiveness to the topic within an organization. First and foremost, based
on the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) guidance, Nuclear Security
Culture can only be in place if all staff (of a facility) recognize and believe that a
threat is real. The IAEA provides additional information regarding the importance of
a Nuclear Security Culture, as well as the key components as they define the topic.
This presentation will highlight this information and provide practical information to
take away to better understand the concept.

The international community, especially the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) and the World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS), identify the "Insider"
as one of the most difficult threats to mitigate. The "Insider" is already employed
or connected to a site and has three main factors that make it particularly difficult
to mitigate, they have 1) access, 2) time and 3) authority. One method to mitigate
the risks posed by an "Insider" is to employ a program to, hopefully, limit someoneŠs
