The Spanish has only one word (safety) to express the concepts to which the English dedicates two (safety and security). In the nuclear industry, safety is security against the risk of accidents, and security, protection against external attacks, such as theft, or sabotage attacks. The first nuclear security summit in April 2010 in Washington (USA) only dealt with the security, but the second, which ended yesterday in Seoul (South Korea), could not ignore the safety. The accident in Fukushima, which just met a year, has demonstrated that the two are inseparable. Suspicious that the measures required to increase again and ruin your bottom line, the global lobby of nuclear energy met in Seoul on the eve of the summit that brought together 53 representatives and four international organizations.
In view of the findings, their fears were unfounded. While reaffirming the call to secure vulnerable nuclear material within four years, ending in 2014, its recommendations are not binding, but depend on the willingness of States to implement them. I could not be otherwise, since they are accompanied by the necessary funding and only encourages states and the industry itself, to increase their voluntary contributions to nuclear security fund of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to that can provide assistance to countries that lack the means to implement them, which in a time of budgetary constraints is unlikely.

Beyond the call to create a Global Nuclear Security Architecture and the invitation to countries that have not yet done so to accede to international conventions on the matter, the summit has served as an umbrella for practical arrangements on a bilateral or trilateral . One of them is announced by the United States, France, South Korea and Belgium to replace highly enriched uranium used to manufacture medical isotopes less enriched uranium but high density. It is estimated that worldwide there are about 200 civil research reactors use highly enriched uranium to use as fuel and converting them, "where technically and economically feasible" is one of the objectives it has set the top end of next year . There is already a precedent: the Mexican reactor Triga Mark III has been retrofitted to use low-enriched uranium in collaboration with U.S. and Canada.
To avoid materials that can be used in the manufacture of nuclear bombs or dirty bombs, which combine conventional explosives with radioactive components, falling into the hands of terrorist organizations, the summit should remove obsolete facilities and store them in central warehouses. This past weekend left Ukraine with Russia and finance towards Washington the last shipment of 19 kilos of highly enriched uranium, a relic of the arsenal of the former Soviet Union. Are still scattered across countries, without adequate security conditions, some 1,600 tons of highly enriched uranium and plutonium 500, enough to produce about 100,000 atomic bombs, according to data provided by the host of the summit, South Korean President Lee Myung -bak.
But the concern is not limited to storage of sensitive material, but also affects their transport and smuggling, whose eradication requires a strengthening of border controls and cooperation between police and intelligence services. Interpol was not in vain among the organizations invited to the summit.
Although the conclusions referred only to terrorist organizations and non-state actors, two non-guests were in the spotlight: North Korea and Iran. Pyongyang reiterated yesterday its intention to conduct mid-April launch of a satellite, according to experts, covers the testing of a long-range missile, despite pressure from the international community, including its ally China. Meanwhile, U.S. President Barack Obama, he continued to repeat to all partners, although there is still room for a diplomatic solution to the dispute with Iran, it is becoming narrower. Obama, caught by a microphone on Monday promising the Russian acting president, Dmitri Medvedev, greater flexibility in the missile shield after the election, he returned to talk with him yesterday. But this time was careful to cover the microphone with his hand, still smiling.
The next nuclear security summit held in 2014 in Holland.
