methodologies will be developed for approximately 13 sites, and 150 reference material standards will
be developed for MC&A equipment calibration and operation. The program will also continue to
evaluate and provide updated command and control communications systems at Rosatom sites to
improve response times of protective forces to potential threats. The Protective Force Project will
sustain 3 national level training academies for MVD-IT nuclear guards at Gorelovo, Lunevo, and
Ozersk in FY 2012. The Protective Force Project will install command and control radio systems at
5 Rosatom sites and sustain protective force equipment, e.g. tactical radios and response vehicles, at
26 Russian sites in FY 2012. The Project will also provide replacements for 150 explosive detectors at
Rosatom site entry control points and other critical locations.
INMP&C will continue to operate and maintain three regional technical support facilities to provide
equipment repair, maintenance, calibration assistance, operations assistance, configuration control,
warranty service, spare parts inventories, and training for critical MPC&A systems and components;
and continue to develop MPC&A training, infrastructure curricula, and support provisions of MPC&A
courses. In FY 2012, 25 physical protection classes with 430 participants, 40 material control and
accounting classes with 600 participants, and 20 protective force courses with 250 participants will be
conducted. Approximately 15 students will graduate from the Engineering Degree Program at the
National Research Nuclear University (MEPhI); and Tomsk Polytechnic University will graduate its
fourth class of 15 students from their Engineering Degree Program in February 2012.
INMP&C will also assist partner countries in achieving long-term effective operation of their MPC&A
programs by assisting sites to establish dedicated MPC&A organizations, and develop site MPC&A
management plans, operating procedures, human resource programs, operational cost analysis, and
performance test plans. The program will also work to bolster the nuclear security culture in Russia
through various security culture enhancement efforts.
In addition, INMP&C will continue implementation of an MPC&A sustainability and transition
strategy to achieve the goal of fully transitioning operations and maintenance of MPC&A upgrades to
full-partner country responsibility by working with these partner countries to develop the capabilities
they need to maintain the safeguards and security of their weapons exploitable nuclear material.

The Second Line of Defense (SLD) Core Program installs radiation detection equipment at borders,
airports, and strategic ports in Russia, other former Soviet Union states, Eastern Europe, and other
key countries. The SLD Core Program also provides training and technical support for appropriate
law enforcement officials and initial system sustainability support as the host government assumes
operational responsibility for the equipment. The program selects sites to be addressed, through a
site prioritization and selection methodology so as to effectively plan and utilize program resources.
