This publication offers guidance for implementing security measures on radioactive sources. It also provides advice on implementing security related provisions in the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources
The principal aim of the International Conference on Nuclear Security: Global Directions for the Future was to share information on how to most successfully combat sub-State and criminal threats now and in the future, and to foster a better understanding and awareness of the global changes since 11 September 2001. The conference considered the threat of malicious acts involving nuclear and othe…
This INSAG report deals with the general principles governing the safety of all sources of radiation and with the application of these principles. It seeks to demonstrate that, at the conceptual level, the distinction traditionally made between nuclear safety and radiation protection is not justified. This report is primarily intended for the non-specialist who needs to take decisions about the…
The need for a consistent international approach to exclusion and exemption of radiation sources and practices from regulatory control has become increasingly evident, especially for sources which may be transported from one country to another, such as consumer products containing very small amounts of radioactive material. This safety guide represents a first international consensus on the sub…
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…
