Emerging Projects STCU Experts Workshop on Nuclear Forensics, Tbilisi, June 2009 • Creation of a regional nuclear forensics network in GUAM Countries • Build on existing national capabilities • Complementary to / Continuation of ongoing projects • Establish „Core Capabilities“ in Nuclear Forensics in each Country • Benefit from advanced capabilities in Ukraine

Emerging Projects Creation of a regional nuclear forensics network in GUAM Countries • Embedded in National Response Plan • Set up infrastructure q National core capabilities Ø Mobile measurement capability (MEST) Ø Laboratory based measurements Ø National Nuclear Forensics Library Ø Provide for National Reach-back Ø Trained staff

Emerging Projects Creation of a regional nuclear forensics network in GUAM Countries • Set up infrastructure q Regional Network Ø Secure communication lines Ø Mutual support Ø Advanced analytical capabilities in central laboratory Ø Exchange of best practice (workshops, experts meetings) Ø Regional reach-back

Emerging Projects Creation of a regional nuclear forensics network in GUAM Countries • Capacity building Ø Dedicated R&D activities Ø Participation in international activities (e. g. ITWG) Ø Advanced training Ø (Joint) Exercises Ø (Joint) analysis of domestic or seized nuclear material
