SUMMARY OF 1ST MEETING OF ASEAN NETWORK OF

REGULATORY BODIES ON ATOMIC ENERGY (ASEANTOM)

Location: Millennium Resort Patong Phuket, Phuket, THAILAND

Date: 3 – 4 September, 2013

The 1st Meeting of ASEAN Network of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy (ASEANTOM) was

organized in Phuket, Thailand on 3 – 4 September, 2013. The meeting was held on annually

basis following the Meeting to Finalize the Term of Reference (TOR) in Bangkok, Thailand on

29 August, 2012. Agenda of the Meeting is in Appendix 1.

Objective of the meeting is to review and finalize TOR, and to set up the action plan of

ASEANTOM. The action plan is an expected outcome of the meeting.

The Meeting consisted of 41 participants from IAEA and ASEAN Member States (AMS),

namely, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Vietnam and

Thailand. Only Brunei Darussalam could not attend the Meeting. Participant’s organizations

were regulatory body or relevant authorities, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. List of

participants is in Appendix 2.

Lecture summary and outcomes of the Meeting are described as followed;

Opening Remarks (Dr. Atchara Wongsaengchan, Deputy Permanent-Secretary, Ministry of

Science and Technology of Thailand)

Dr. Atchara welcomed participants to the first meeting of ASEANTOM. She emphasized the

importance of regional cooperation and network on nuclear regulatory bodies among the

member states, especially on the occasion of becoming the ASEAN Community in 2015. The

network is necessary for Member States because of the increase of nuclear and radiation

utilizations in ASEAN, and the trans-boundary impacts of any nuclear incident. She also stated

that in 2011 on occasion of the 50th anniversary of Office of Atoms for Peace (OAP), Thailand

initiated the establishment of ASEANTOM. Later, the network has been progressed and has

received warm welcome from Member States including at the political level. Lastly, she stated

that the purpose of the meeting is to facilitate an exchange of information in the area of

cooperation on nuclear safety, security and safeguards amongst the network and set up the

work plan of the activities. She conveyed her gratitude for all of ASEAN countries for sharing

their cooperation to establish the sustainability of the network which will strengthen nuclear

safety, security and safeguards in the region.

IAEA Nuclear Security Program (Ms. Noor Firtiah Bakri, Office of Nuclear Security, IAEA)

Ms. Noor provided information about nuclear security program of IAEA and cooperation

between IAEA and countries in ASEAN. She stated that the cooperation has been done

through bilateral agreement between IAEA and some of ASEAN countries. In ASEAN, the

potential target includes research reactor and fuel fabrication plants. The nuclear security

issues included; unauthorized possession and related criminal activities, theft and losses,

other unauthorized activities and events. IAEA provides services and instruments for nuclear

security, i.e., Peer review on security and advisory services (INSServ), International physical

protection advisory service, Integrated nuclear security support plan (INSSP). Since 2004,

there are 4 ASEAN countries undertook INSServ.

For ASEANTOM, IAEA offered several possible areas for further development at both national

level and facility level. For example, awareness program for national stakeholders, training

programs, field exercise, and nuclear security training provision for lawyers. Ms. Noor

suggested that ASEAN and IAEA should prepare bilateral discussion and request for

cooperation between ASEAN and IAEA. Recommended activities are capacity building,

national coordination, establishing regional capacities and capabilities and managing of

radioactive materials out of regulatory control. In conclusion, IAEA to support any regional

activities from requested by the ASEAN Member States and the ASEANTOM network.

Progress of ASEANTOM (Ms. Siriratana Biramontri, Director, Bureau of Technical Support

of Safety Regulation, OAP)

Ms. Siriratana presented progress of ASEANTOM establishment. The presentation covered

background and motivation of ASEANTOM, progress of network establishment in political

level, and overview of TOR. The idea of establishing ASEANTOM raised from the process of

establishing the ASEAN Community by 2015, and was first proposed during the International

conference on safety, security and safeguards in nuclear energy in September, 2011 in

Bangkok. Later in March 2012, the concept paper for ASEANTOM was distributed in Senior

Official Meeting (SOM). ASEAN Leaders, during the 20th ASEAN Summit in 2012, stated that

“We welcomed the idea to develop a network amongst nuclear regulatory bodies in Southeast

Asia which would enable regulators to exchange nuclear related information and experiences

on best practices, enhance cooperation and develop capacities on all three aspects, namely,

nuclear security, safety and safeguards”. Such a network could be called the ASEAN Network

of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy (ASEANTOM). The proposal received support from the

political level as it became a part of leader’s statement in 2012 Soule Security Summit, and

the 56th and 57th IAEA General Conference in Vienna. The TOR was first drafted in August

2012, and will be reviewed once again in this meeting.

Revision and Adoption of Term of Reference (TOR)

TOR of ASEANTOM was reviewed and edited in this meeting in order to achieve consensus by

the MS. The issues in TOR discussed in the meeting is summarized below. The TOR was revised

and accepted among the MS, as presented in Appendix 3.

Adoption of TOR: MS agreed that the TOR should be adopted through high level official

or diplomat meeting such as the ASEAN Senior Official Meeting (SOM) or Ministerial

meeting. One of the reasons is that the network is also promoting security, which is a

part of the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC).

Issues relating to SEANWFZ: MS agreed that ASEANTOM can contribute to SEANWFZ

(the implementation) since SEANWFZ mentions ASEANTOM in its plan of action.

However, supporting SEANWFZ should not be a main role of ASEANTOM (on the other

hand, ASEANTOM is not SEANWFZ). Therefore parts of TOR content involving

SEANWFZ were modified, i.e., parts of background, institutional mechanism and

reporting mechanism.

Scope: MS discussed on Scope and Activity and suggested to revise some parts. The

last bullet of scope was moved to activity.

Activity: MS suggested to add another activity on “Identifying other activities that

meet AMS requirements and needs in the areas of safety, security and safeguards”.

Reporting mechanism: MS agreed that reporting mechanism should be modified from

report to the SEANWFZ. Instead, the MS proposed that the ASEANTOM should submit

an annual activity report to the ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) (under APSC pillar).

One of reasons is that reporting to the leaders is to be recognized from the government

to get funding and support under the APSC. The revision is reflected in TOR.

Institutional mechanism: To be consistent with reporting mechanism, the institutional

mechanism is revised to be a network under the APSC. The revision is reflected in TOR.

Revision of terms/wording:

o Term “regulatory bodies and relevant authorities” to be used consistency

throughout TOR.

o Term “ASEAN Member States (AMS)” to be used consistency throughout TOR.

o In objective, modified “non-traditional security issues” to “nuclear security

issues”

o Other minor wording, typo, and grammatical changes as reflected in the TOR.

Action plan

An action plan of ASEAN Network of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy (ASEANTOM) was

developed during the 1st Meeting of ASEAN Network of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy

(ASEANTOM), 2-5 September 2013, Phuket, Thailand. Participants of the meeting consisted

of delegates from nine out of the ten ASEAN Member States (AMS). One AMS who did not

participate in the meeting was Brunei Darussalam.

During the meeting, 22 fields of activity within 5 scope of the ASEANTOM were proposed by

the AMS. Corresponding activities for each field were proposed and the host country which

to organize each activity was designated on a voluntary basis. Due to the limited amount of

time for the preparation of the activities, six activities have been selected as priority. Four are

selected to be conducted in 2014 including, Nuclear regulation establishment and national

regulatory and legal frameworks in ASEAN; current and future, Radiation environmental

monitoring and transport models, Experience sharing from EURATOM, and Radiation

detection techniques and maintenance of instruments. Two activities are selected to be

organized in year 2015 including, Emergency Preparedness and Response and Nuclear and

radioactive materials transport safety and security. The activities planned for 2014 and 2015

are listed in Appendix 4.

TERMS OF REFERENCE


(ASEANTOM)

Background:

In the process of establishing the ASEAN Community by 2015 and subsequent closer

integration within ASEAN, the physical and institutional connectivity between Member

States will present both new opportunities and challenges on nuclear related issues. In this

connection, cooperation on relevant nuclear issues amongst countries in the region is

therefore desirable in order to promote confidence and trust, as well as to provide a security

net and safeguards on possible adverse consequences of free movement of people and goods,

which will in turn strengthen our ASEAN community building.

Moreover, in view of growing energy needs, some Southeast Asian countries are exploring

peaceful nuclear technology and energy as an alternative to their respective energy mix. At

the same time, the impact of nuclear and radiation accidents are transboundary in nature.

Cooperation of the regional countries, therefore, becomes necessary to ensure safety of the

nations through information exchange, and emergency preparedness and response. As stated

in the Chairman’s Statement of the 18th ASEAN Summit in Jakarta, “ASEAN should engage

as appropriate in information sharing and promote transparency on relevant nuclear related

issues in the region.”

ASEAN Member States (AMS) also have obligation on the safeguards aspect of nuclear

issues according to the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapon (NPT) and the

Treaty on the South East Asian Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone (SEANWFZ), under which the

control system is in place to uphold the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

safeguards system and exchange of information on events that may affect the implementation

of the Treaty. Regular dialogues amongst nuclear regulatory bodies or relevant authorities of

AMS could support and contribute to ensure the safe, secure, and peaceful uses of nuclear

energy in the region.

Recognising the importance of nuclear safety, security and safeguards within the region, as

well as the crucial role of nuclear regulatory bodies or relevant authorities in enhancing

cooperation in these issues, ASEAN Leaders, during the 20th ASEAN Summit in 2012,

welcomed the idea to develop a network amongst nuclear regulatory bodies or relevant

authorities in the region, which would enable regulators to exchange nuclear related

information and experiences on best practices, enhance cooperation and develop capacities on

all three aspects, namely, nuclear safety, security and safeguards. Such a network would be

called the ASEAN Network of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy (ASEANTOM).

Revised 8/05/2013 Final

to serve as a framework for cooperation amongst nuclear regulatory bodies or relevant

authorities within ASEAN in order to enhance regional nuclear safety, security and

safeguards, based on implementation of relevant commitments to the IAEA’s standards and

guidelines and other multilateral agreements to which AMS are party.

ASEANTOM will also support and contribute to the purpose of ASEAN in preserving

Southeast Asia as a Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone. In this regard, the network is in line with the

ASEAN Political-Security Community Blueprint on the implementation of SEANWFZ

Treaty and its Plan of Action, as well as the cooperation in addressing nuclear security issues.

Scope:

Action plan of ASEAN Network of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy

(ASEANTOM) was developed during the 1st Meeting of ASEAN Network of Regulatory

Bodies on Atomic Energy (ASEANTOM), 2-5 September 2013, Phuket, Thailand.

Participants of the meeting consisted of delegates from nine countries of ASEAN Member

States (AMS). One AMS who could not attend the meeting was Brunei Darussalam.

During the meeting, the AMS proposed 22 fields of activity for the ASEANTOM.

Corresponding activities for each field were proposed, and host country to organize the activity

was designated on volunteer basis. Six major fields of activity have been selected as priority.

Due to limited time for preparation for the activities, two topics will be organized in 2015. Four
