ABSTRACT
IMPLEMENTATION OF PHYSICAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS IN BATAN'S NUCLEAR FACILITIES. Physical protection systems for nuclear facilities have two objectives, i.e., the first to minimize or eliminate the possibility of theft or unauthorized removal of nuclear materials and the occurrence of sabotage, the second to deter incoming threat and localize and retrieve the missing nuclear materials effectively and immediately. In order to achieve these two objectives it requires effective planning of physical protection system for nuclear facilities, which covers detection system, delaying system and response system. The plan for physical protection system for nuclear facilities should also consider the categorization of nuclear materials as the subject of security. This paper discusses some of the implementation of physical protection system in BATAN, assessment on it efficiency and effectiveness, also possible improvement.
