Abstract

This document, "Securing the Nuclear Supply Chain: A Handbook of Case Studies on Counterfeit, Fraudulent, and Suspect Items", is the product of a nine-month period of desktop and investigatory research. It was funded through an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Project (CRP). It is envisaged that this guide on CFSIs, utilising real-life case studies, will be a valuable source for governments, industry and others around the world to help prevent CFSIs, or at least mitigate their effects, within the nuclear supply chain. Compiled by researchers and academics at King’s College London, the objective is to provide comprehensive, evidence-based and objective information about CFSIs and the implications for nuclear security. Through probing a number of case studies, the handbook explores known cases of CFSIs found in the nuclear supply chain where there are particular nuclear security aspects identified or if the events can be extrapolated logically to demonstrate nuclear security risks. In addition, the handbook provides policy recommendations to the IAEA and its Member States for preventing the entry of CFSIs into the nuclear supply chain, mitigating the risks and consequences of their presence, and facilitating their detection and removal.
