More than five years have passed since the Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) was established under the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in December 2010 and started its activities, in response to the commitment of Japan at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington D.C.. ISCN has been vigorously involved in the capacity building assistance on nuclear nonproliferation (safeguards) and nuclear security, mainly in the Asian region. It has provided 100 training courses to 2748 participants in total as of March 2016. ISCN has been playing a major role in strengthening nuclear nonproliferation and nuclear security in this region, and this can be considered as one of the great results of the Nuclear Security Summit process. Particularly, ISCN's nuclear security training courses, primarily its two-week course on physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities, have been building up instructors in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). ISCN has also been providing courses with emphasis on universalization of the IAEA INFCIRC/225/Rev.5 and nuclear security culture. Furthermore, ISCN has provided training courses for experts in Japan, making the best use of our knowledge and experience of organizing international training courses. The total number of Japanese experts participating in ISCN courses has surpassed 1000. In addition to that, ISCN conducted a special lecture on nuclear security culture at thirteen nuclear power plant (NPP) sites in Japan, and over two thousands workers at NPP joined the lecture. This shows that the ISCN has been recognized as an expert organization for nuclear security training support in Japan. This paper will describe the good practices at ISCN through five years of activities, mainly the progress in our nuclear security training.
