 Nuclear security experts from more than 100 countries are in Vienna to discuss ways to secure radioactive material. The conference on the security of radioactive material highlights the protection of the radioactive material from sabotage or from it being lost and detection of such material when it gets lost or gets out of regulatory control. Radioactive sources can be used for many peaceful purposes such as medicine, industry and agriculture. We must ensure that the radioactive material in our possession remains safe and secure and that when material escapes regulatory control and is en route to being used for malicious purpose that we have the capacity to detect and return it to regulatory control. During the conference, manufacturers are also showing special equipment needed to detect radioactive sources. The IAEA helps countries to improve security for radioactive material and facilities with forums such as this conference International Cooperation and Technical Assistance.
