Abstract: The security monitoring system is one of the most important components of the monitoring chains aiming at assuring nuclear disarmament procedure’s security, safety and reliability. This paper developed the vulnerability concept for the stockpile security monitoring system based on the recent developments of research on vulnerability in other areas. The influential factors were analyzed and a numerical evaluation method was raised specifically for the radioactive monitoring sub-system as a part of the stockpile monitoring system. Research results showed that there were many vulnerable factors and the system was also vulnerable. Lots of work should be done for the stockpile monitoring system to ensure the nuclear disarmament procedure’s security, safety, reliability and efficiency.

Key words: radioactive materials, stockpile, monitoring system, vulnerability assessment
