Security of Radioactive Sources: Regulatory Practices

This WINS International Best Practice Guide provides a comprehensive review of regulatory oversight for the security of radioactive sources. This Guide addresses the performance of regulatory functions, organisation and management, human resource development, communications, coordination and cooperation. Many of the best practices identified for these topics apply to the regulatory body generally although the security aspects of these topics are highlighted as relevant. In addition, the Guide addresses several further regulatory topics that are specific to the security of radioactive sources.

This Guide also contains a Self-Assessment Questionnaire that can be used to answer questions about different aspects to assess the effectiveness of your regulatory body. The results of the Self-Assessment Questionnaire can then be applied to the five-level Maturity Scale in the Guide.
