Safety and Security in Industrial Applications of Radioactive Sources: Two Principles, Only One Commitment

Creators

  • 1. Radiological Safety, Physical Protection and Safeguards Department, Nuclear Regulatory Authority, Buenos Aires (Argentina)

Description

The Nuclear Regulatory Authority of Argentina applies the basic principles of radiation protection and the necessary requirements to ensure radiation safety and physical security of radioactive sources, established in its Regulatory Standards. The criteria used by Regulatory Standards aim to reinforce and strengthen the measures of safety and security of radioactive material applying the concepts of safety culture and defence in depth. The paper refers to the criteria currently applied to mobile radioactive sources that are used in industrial applications with measurement purposes, studies of well logging and industrial radiography.
