 The IAEA has broken ground on its Nuclear Security Training and Demonstration Center to help prevent and combat the threat of nuclear terrorism. One of the agency's core responsibilities is to help strengthen nuclear security globally. Member states are increasingly requesting practical nuclear security training from the IAEA to complement their national activities. The new center will allow the agency to step up the hands-on nuclear security training it already provides in Vienna and throughout the world. This includes training on physical protection of nuclear material and facilities, investigation and crime scene management, and nuclear forensics techniques. There will also be training on how to check for radioactive sources in preparation for major public events and how to sweep an area for any possible radioactive material, among many other skills related to nuclear security. What we are celebrating today is the fact that, for the first time, the IAEA or the international community as such, we have a training center for nuclear security. The new state-of-the-art center will provide more space for large exercises, as well as offering computer security and virtual reality training. It will be built in the agency's laboratories in Cybersdorf, Austria.
