- Abstract
The main objective of a physical protection system (PPS) is to prevent radiological sabotage of the nuclear facility and theft of nuclear materials. This paper describes a procedure for effective physical protection of nuclear facilities, as will as physical protection of nuclear materials (NMs) in use, storage, and transport. The procedure involves categorizing the nuclear facility targets and how to protect them. We then propose a preliminary plan for a site visit for the purpose of evaluating the PPS, and ensuring that it is in compliance with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) standards, the International Physical Protection Advisory Service (IPPAS) guidelines, and also meets the necessary conditions set out in Egyptian regulations (licensing) of the facility. The implementation of this plan could strengthen physical protection of Egyptian nuclear facilities.
