A theoretical and practical course covering the general concepts applied to safeguards activities in Argentina and Brazil, the various tasks involved in an ABACC safeguards inspection, and laboratory demonstrations of the equipment used.
ABACC applies the SCCC, whose primary tool is inspections, to ensure through verification that nuclear materials in all facilities of both countries are used exclusively for peaceful purposes. To guarantee excellence in its activities, technical cooperation with various national and international institutions and organizations, along with the continuous training of its inspectors, are integral parts of our work.
The Common System for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials (SCCC) is a set of measures and technical activities designed to verify the non-diversion of nuclear materials to the manufacture of nuclear weapons.
Verification and control activities applied to all nuclear materials in all nuclear activities in Argentina and Brazil under the Bilateral Agreement and the Quadripartite Agreement.
Verification and control activities applied to all nuclear materials in all nuclear activities in Argentina and Brazil under the Bilateral Agreement and the Quadripartite Agreement.
Recording, processing, and analysis of the nuclear material accounting and control system.
Application of containment, surveillance, and radiation detection technologies for nuclear materials.
Evaluation of inspections and other verification activities related to nuclear materials and facilities.
ABACC's technical cooperation activities are carried out in collaboration with Brazilian, Argentine, and international institutions. This cooperation takes place through training courses, conferences, and joint research projects in which ABACC staff participate as instructors or attendees, as well as through collaboration with experts from foreign institutions in the development of projects of mutual interest.
