This publication is a significant revision of IAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 8, Preventive and Protective Measures against Insider Threats, published in 2008. The new publication offers updated guidance to States, their competent authorities, operators, and shippers and carriers on selecting, implementing, and evaluating measures for addressing insider threats. It applies to any type of nuclear facility, notably nuclear power plants, research reactors, and other nuclear fuel cycle facilities (e.g., enrichment plants, reprocessing plants, fuel fabrication plants, storage facilities), whether in design, redesign, construction, commissioning, operation, shutdown, or decommissioning.

The publication begins by providing an overview of the nature and scope of insider threats to nuclear facilities. It then discusses the importance of identifying and assessing insider threats, as well as developing and implementing appropriate measures to mitigate them.

The new publication includes a comprehensive list of measures that can be taken to address insider threats, including physical security measures, access control measures, personnel security measures, information security measures, and training and awareness measures. It also provides guidance on how to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures and how to continuously improve them.

In addition, the publication includes case studies and best practices from a range of nuclear facilities around the world, which demonstrate the practical application of the measures discussed. These case studies provide valuable insights into the challenges and successes that other facilities have experienced in addressing insider threats.

Overall, this publication is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the security of nuclear facilities, including policymakers, security professionals, operators, and shippers and carriers. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the risks and challenges associated with insider threats, and offers practical guidance on how to mitigate them effectively.
