The Integrated Nuclear Security Sustainability Plan (INSSP) is a key component of IAEA assistance provided to countries, upon request, in establishing, strengthening and sustaining their national nuclear security regimes. It delivers a systematic framework based on the IAEA’s nuclear security guidance.
Given the cross-cutting nature of nuclear security, a wide range of national stakeholders are involved in developing and implementing a country’s INSSP. They play a vital role in identifying and prioritizing areas for improvement and resource allocation, regardless of the status (existing, new or planned) of a country’s nuclear security regime.
The INSSP offers:
- Tailored support for all countries;
- Identification of responsibilities for national stakeholders, along with action strategies and timelines;
- A flexible and dynamic strategic planning mechanism that adapts to the evolving needs of the national nuclear security regime;
- Continuous improvement, coordination and ownership at the national level, optimizing the use of resources and preventing duplication of efforts.
