Helping licensees assess the maturity of their security programme and measure their security culture effectiveness.
Every country in the world has radioactive sources within its territory. The security of these sources is important to avoid any diversion of material and malicious use. Many documents and guides analyse how to implement and sustain security measures for radioactive sources during normal, “business-as-usual” situations and cases when control is lost due to accidental or malicious reasons. However, these existing publications are not sufficient to adequately ensure the protection of radioactive sources in all situations.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a stark reminder to the international community that the usual radioactive source security arrangements may be challenged by threats and conditions far beyond the mitigation capabilities of end users and sometimes even of the State where the radioactive sources are in use, storage or transport. A major military conflict in a country does not “cancel out” the need for radioactive source security. It demands increasing and adapting the security of radioactive material to prevent potential adversaries—including opportunistic individuals with malicious intent—from capturing and using it for a nefarious purpose.
WINS believes that now is the appropriate moment to consolidate various experiences and offer the radioactive source security community an opportunity to discuss the lessons learned and how to better prepare for such situations.
The main target audience of this workshop are:
Our experts will share their views, thoughts and visions on how to implement and sustain radioactive source security during civil unrest and wartime. We will have operators, regulators, law enforcement and other experts with real experience dealing with radioactive source security during such situations.
The online workshop will be moderated by a professional facilitator and held in English.
