Radioactive sources are used routinely by hospitals, research facilities and industry for such purposes as diagnosing and treating illnesses, sterilising equipment and inspecting welds. In countries with mature regulatory structures, the use of radioactive sources is highly regulated from a safety perspective. Licensees (authorised users) readily accept such regulations because they are well aw…
Experience in a wide range of organisations entrusted with the security of sensitive materials strongly indicates that pervasive culture of security-as much as a robust security infrastructure-is essential to successfully lowering the risks associated with insider and external threats. This WINS International Best Practice Guide explains what nuclear security culture is, how it is created, and …
Although radioactive sources are used around the world for multiple health purposes, they have the potential to cause significant harm if they fall into the wrong hands. A serious security event involving such sources could open a health care facility (HCP) to legal and economic liabilities; injure personnel, patients and members of the public; damage the environment; create widespread fear, pa…
There are concerns that terrorist or criminal groups could gain access to high activity radioactive sources and use these sources maliciously. The IAEA is working with Member States to increase control, accounting and security of radioactive sources to prevent their malicious use and the associated potential consequences. Based on extensive input from technical and legal experts, this Implement…
This manual has been produced as part of the IAEA’s Action Plan for the Safety of Radiation Sources and Security of Radioactive Material. It is intended to: assist in the recognition and identification of objects thought to be radioactive devices, sources and transport packages; provide instruction on what to do and how to obtain further help; enhance awareness of the existence of radioactive…
This IAEA Nuclear Security Series publication provides nuclear security fundamentals, recommendations, and supporting guidance for Member States to assist them in implementing new nuclear security regimes, or in reviewing and, if necessary, strengthening existing ones.
