Radiological Security Risk Reduction

The ubiquity of radioactive materials in modern society poses serious security risks

About the Project

This project focuses particular effort on revealing the legal architecture of radiological security risk reduction in order to measure countries’ efforts to meet international legal and best practice standards for radiological material security.
