The WINS Academy’s new edition of the Transport Security Management module is now available for enrolment.
We have revised and updated the material to ensure it is in line with current best practice and developments in the industry. The new edition features expanded coverage of emergency preparedness and response as well as the underlying principles that support security management. We’ve also added a dedicated chapter on cybersecurity.
“Thanks to the support of industry specialists and subject matter experts in drafting and reviewing the material, we are confident this new edition provides our learners with the latest and most comprehensive information about the sector,” WINS Academy and Communications Manager Roland Fletcher said.
The new edition was prepared in consultation with International Nuclear Services and has been peer reviewed by a broad section of subject matter experts from industry and regulators.
“The safe and secure transport of nuclear materials is an essential part of a safe and secure nuclear fuel cycle,” said Ben Whittard, Director of Safety, Security & Environment at International Nuclear Services. “Developing the capabilities and understanding of the professionals involved in this process is crucial. We’re very proud to have supported WINS in this revision, and we hope that by sharing our experience, we will help others develop their capabilities in this area.”
The international transport of nuclear material may be undertaken across multiple modes of transport (e.g. road, rail, air, inland waterway, sea), across national boundaries, require adherence to a number of national legal and regulatory frameworks, and involve numerous stakeholders, many of whom may change as the transport proceeds. Consequently, ensuring effective and secure transport of nuclear material requires careful planning, communication and coordination.
This module helps learners understand what is required to achieve this goal—whether they are arranging, carrying, receiving or protecting a shipment of nuclear material or if they are responsible for responding to a security incident that occurs during the transport of nuclear material.
