Abstract

Nowadays, along with the development of application of radiation and nuclear technology, the issue of ensuring nuclear safety and security for nuclear and radiation facilities becomes more urgent. To ensure nuclear safety and security, building a nuclear security culture plays a very important role. However, the nuclear security culture is a new concept for Viet Nam and even the world, so research on nuclear security culture, first of all, evaluating the status of nuclear security culture, is essential. This paper presents the results of a study conducted by the Vietnam Agency for Radiation and Nuclear Safety on the assessment of nuclear security culture in 18 out of 28 radiation facilities using radioactive sources at security level A, 6 out of 24 facilities use radioactive sources at security level B2 across the country and in the Vietnam's only nuclear facility3; and the solutions proposed by the research team to enhance the nuclear security culture in Vietnam's nuclear and radiation facilities in the coming time.
