We are delighted to announce that the WINS Academy Elective Module for Radioactive Source Security Management has been released.
The WINS Academy Elective Module for Radioactive Source Security Management is designed for senior managers accountable for the oversight of the security of high activity radioactive sources in medical, industrial, academic and research facilities. This is generally the direct responsibility of a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) who reports directly or indirectly to a Board of Directors. This Elective module is also expected to be of interest to regulatory oversight personnel, particularly inspectors and license reviewers. RSOs have historically inherited the responsibility of overseeing the implementation of security requirements since some security measures were already part of the RSO’s safety responsibility. Therefore, such professionals have a good knowledge of radiation protection and safety practices and the use of radioactive sources, but they generally lack formal security education and training. Consequently, an overriding goal is to help these safety-oriented professionals broaden their orientation from concerns about inadvertent incidents to malicious and intentional acts leading to significant consequences.
