The head of the CIS Anti-Terrorism Center said the exercise, which ran from September 26 to 29 at Armenia's Metsamor nuclear power plant, underlined how real the threat really is.
"The participants could see for themselves just how real the threat is that terrorists might attempt to exploit the vulnerability of nuclear sites, and how extremely dangerous the implications are," Boris Mylnikov said at a final news conference.
He said security forces should develop anti-terrorism measures for nuclear and other sensitive facilities in close cooperation with their staffs.
"Representatives of potentially hazardous sites have [access to] nuclear technologies, and can detect vulnerable points in the operating systems of their nuclear plants," he said.
The head of Armenia's National Security Service, Gorik Akopyan, said the experience gained through the Metsamor war games should be used in real life "to protect the population, nuclear sites and the state as a whole."
Officials from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, the Security Council's Anti-Terrorism Committee, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the Group of Eight leading industrialized nations attended the event as observers.
