The Role of Radiation Protection Professionals in the Security of Radioactive Sources (F6.2)
Launch in September 2008 at the IAEA GC “WINS fills an urgent gap in our need to strengthen the nuclear security system.”
WINS’ Achievements to Date 25 International Best Practice Guides published 30 International Best Practice Workshops 8 Published languages
ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE FIELD OF SECURITY OF RAD. SOURCES • 2 dedicated Guides (‘Security of High Activity Radioactive Sources’ and ‘Security of Well Logging Radioactive Sources’) • 7 related workshops in Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia. • Facilitation of exchanges between European device manufacturers (self-contained gamma irradiators) and technical teams from the US DoE regarding the intrinsic robustness of these irradiators and options to increase their security by design. • Partnerships with the Oil & Gas industry to support the strengthening of security measures for radioactive sources used in well logging applications. • Our primary focus is radioactive source users, but in our activities we welcome all stakeholders willing and capable to contribute to the security of radioactive sources.
The WINS Academy Launched WINS is proud to introduce….
TOPICS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE FORUM: • What role should radiation protection professionals and their respective professional societies play in assuring that adequate security measures are implemented to secure radioactive sources against criminal and other malicious acts? • What competencies and knowledge are needed by radiation protection professionals to carry out that role? • What resources are available to assist radiation protection professionals in obtaining the needed competency and knowledge? • How do radiation protection professionals involve other stakeholders and traditional security staff in the process of upgrading the security of radioactive sources?
