Security of radioactive material other than nuclear material

In dozens of countries, tens of thousands of tons of highly radioactive material has been kept in buildings that provide little of the usually rigorous protection surrounding radioactive material in reactors cores.

Less long lived radioactive waste is produced the waste material would decay after 500 years to the radioactive level of coal ash.

Even countries that do not possess nuclear or other radioactive material need to act.

It also prohibits any nuclear explosions and the disposal of radioactive waste material in Antarctica.

The most important nuclear safety issue for CARICOM remained the transboundary movement of radioactive material.

IAEA sought to improve national security measures with respect to radioactive material and to ensure that significant uncontrolled radioactive sources were brought under regulatory control and properly secured.

The risk of nuclear or other radioactive material falling into the wrong hands is all too real.

The damage must be related directly to radioactive material, not merely (for example) at a nuclear power plant.

(e) The harmonization of the Model Regulations with the IAEA regulations for the safe transport of radioactive material

By the same token, since the Indian draft resolution deals with fissile nuclear material being used to manufacture nuclear bombs, we decided to focus on other radioactive material.

The radioactive material would not be useful for a fission bomb, but could be used in a dirty bomb.

The safety record with regard to the maritime transportation of radioactive material is excellent no accident has ever occurred.

The Bill also creates a new offence that is committed if a person demands that another individual supplies him with a radioactive device or radioactive material, or demands access to a nuclear facility.

VIENNA World leaders have devoted increasing attention in recent years to the risk of terrorists obtaining nuclear or other radioactive material.

It also actively encouraged States to adhere to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and convened a number of international conferences on the security of nuclear and other radioactive material.

Even countries that do not possess nuclear or other radioactive material need to act. There is evidence that criminal and terrorist gangs have attempted to traffic material through countries perceived to have lax security.

Indeed, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) records numerous cases of theft and other unauthorized activities involving nuclear and radioactive material every year.

Latvia strongly supports efforts to enhance the safety and security of radioactive sources and physical protection of nuclear material at the international level.

VIENNA World leaders have devoted increasing attention in recent years to the risk of terrorists obtaining nuclear or other radioactive material. That s the good news.

Border security stations have been set up to inspect trucks upon entry into Jordanian territory and to detect any attempt to import radioactive material illegally.

The General Authority for Land Ports, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Authority, has set up radioactive material detection gates at a number of ports.

Kenya's desire, along with that of the international community, to prevent terrorist acts using radioactive material, goes to the heart of this Committee's important agenda.

(b) The Ministry requests the Ministry of Energy and Mines to maintain appropriate controls over the radioactive material used in Guatemala for industry and for medical purposes.

When cleaning the ruins, the radioactive material has been dispersed from the ionizing fire detectors without any control and disposed of together with the rest of the debris.

We intend to pursue efforts to implement the Action Plan for the Safety of Transport of Radioactive Material and to continue dialogue and consultations with the States involved.

A radionuclide or radioactive nuclide is a nuclide that is radioactive.

(b) A weapon or device that is designed, or has the capability, to cause death, serious bodily injury or substantial material damage through the release, dissemination or impact of toxic chemicals, biological agents or toxins or similar substances or radiation or radioactive material.

Most cases of attempted trafficking do not involve nuclear material rather, they involve radioactive substances of the type held in hospitals, factories, and other locations all over the world.

Welcoming the convening by the International Atomic Energy Agency of the International Conference on the Safety of Transport of Radioactive Material, as well as the outcomes of the Conference, which provided an opportunity for States to address issues relating to the transport of radioactive materials, including by sea,

Uranium and other radioactive substances, products made of such substances and radioactive waste

Localization, transport and burial of radioactive waste, deactivating materials and maintaining radioactive waste repositories

The middle line is millions of tons of plastic debris accumulating in our ocean, and the third line is radioactive material leaking from Fukushima nuclear power plant in the Pacific Ocean.

And one of the arguments against Iran s nuclear program has been that the regime might transfer fissile material to Hezbollah and its ilk to be used in a radioactive dirty bomb.

Regarding the transport of radioactive material, the EU emphasizes the usefulness of the IAEA's TranSAS service as a way of helping to promote the strict application of regulations in this field.

As a result, the plant s three active reactors suffered near meltdowns, leading to a buildup of hydrogen gas, a series of explosions and fires, and leakage of radioactive material into the atmosphere.

The WCO cooperated with the IAEA and UPU in developing Guidelines for Monitoring Radioactive Material in International Mail and worked closely with the IAEA in the development of the Illicit Trafficking Handbook.

The standards (UY 100 to 116) issued by the National Office of Nuclear Energy and Technology, which has ministerial rank, regulate the use of radioactive material and equipment that generates ionizing radiation.

The National Atomic Energy Commission shall coordinate with the Customs Office on how radioactive material may be imported so that it is handled rapidly and safely in keeping with the Commission's regulations.

It is not radioactive.

Dumping of radioactive waste

And if you're wearing clothing, you've taken off your clothing, you're going to get showered down some place and remove the radiation that would be the radioactive material that might be on you.

The Customs Office has been allocated powers under article 1 (b) and (c) of the Customs Code, Decree Law No. 15,691, in particular with regard to the illicit trafficking of nuclear and radioactive material.

The fact that there has never been a major terrorist attack involving nuclear or other radioactive material should not blind us to the severity of the threat. There is evidence that terrorist groups have tried to acquire the material needed to construct a crude nuclear explosive device, or a dirty bomb.

That, in turn, would cause substantial amounts of radioactive material to be released if containment structures are breached, potentially resulting in an area of contamination greater than that caused by the Chernobyl accident in 1986.
