Polish prevention system against illicit trafficking of radioactive substances and nuclear materials

To protect the Polish territory from illegal import of radioactive materials and wastes radiation control was introduced on all national border check points starting from 10 October 1990. Stationary and portable radiometers and dosimeters are used for surface contamination and dose rate measurements. For round-day assistance in cases of accidents with radioactive substances and nuclear materials the Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection is available 24 hours a day; the Laboratory carries out on request identification and analysis of those materials.
