CONTRIBUTION OF STATE NUCLEAR SAFETY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITY TO THE MAINTENANCE AND LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF SECURITY OF NUCLEAR AND RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS

摘要

The safe and secure use of atomic energy and nuclear and radioactive materials seems to be impossible without appropriate measures on maintenance of security of nuclear materials, radioactive substances, radiation sources and associated installations and the enterprises where they are used, in particular, without accounting, control and physical protection. Dynamically varying situations in the new, widely interdependent world generates new, more hazardous and wide ranging threats. As a consequence of this, attention to the problem of nuclear and radiological terrorism, which fortunately so far remains hypothetical, should grow adequately to meet this threat. New challenges generate new issues and problems. One of them is to maximize the use of State regulation of safety and security to maintain an adequate level of security at installations with potential hazards due to nuclear and radioactive materials and their self-sustained maintenance over the long term.
