The new IAEA Safety Standard GSR Part 2 Leadership and Management for
Safety was published in 2016 in parallel with the ISO Management System Stan-
dard ISO 9001 in 2015. The new IAEA standard contains new requirements that
place stronger emphasis on the role of leadership and management in establishing
and maintaining safety, the importance of a sound safety culture and the consis-
tency management system. But, also both standards focus much more on risks and
opportunities.
As this high level IAEA standard also has direct impact on the Belgian nuclear
legislation, they will also have an impact on the operation of our facilities and on
the inspections of our regulator. This risk based approach, combined with a graded
approach, will need to be implemented in the management system of our research
reactors. This will involve extra effort, but it also gives opportunities for tailoring the
management system much more towards the daily routine.
The presentation will deal with our experience in integrating these requirements
in our processes at our nuclear research institute at SCK-CEN, Mol, Belgium.

This work aims to provide an overview of Physical Protection of Brazilian nuclear
material and facilities, considering challenges imposed by an ever-changing global and
local threat scenario regarding theft and sabotage of such assets, actions to mitigate
associated risks, as well as current actions undertaken by the nuclear regulator body to
adequate the local regulatory framework to international recommendations regarding
the subject.
