Traficking of nuclear material: a potential health and safety hazard

Posted by Philippa Martin-King on April 26, 2012 at 2:57pm 0 Comments

The specialized publication, Port Technology International, has just re-published an article on the illicit and illegal trafficking of nuclear material that potentially represents a major threat to public health and safety.

The article deals with the importance that International Standards have in a world where illicit trafficking of radioactive materials is an attractive proposition both for criminals and terrorists and where it is important to be able to detect matter using proven and tested equipment. That is the job of IEC Technical Committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation.…

About wattwatt

 

Can you live without electricity?  Probably not. But by using it more efficiently, using less, and generating more, we might also be able to help the 1,5 billion people get access to electricity. And we can help mitigate the effects of climate change.

We are wattwatt - the community for individuals interested in electrotechnology and how it can help mitigate the effects of climate change.

wattwatt is where you can help make a difference! wattwatt is supported by the IEC, a not-for-profit organization responsible for international standards in areas including energy generation, transmission and distribution, as well as efficiency standards and renewables. The IEC is committed to smart electrification and the pragmatic use of technical solutions to make efficiency gains, the deployment of new technologies when ready, and in the sharing of knowledge and know-how among developed and developing nations.

Join the thousands of experts in the IEC around the world by sharing your ideas, commenting and lending your support to the most interesting blog posts.
