Regional Security of Radiological Sources (RSRS) Project

This project’s purpose was to reduce Southeast Asian states’ vulnerabilities to the unauthorised acquisition and malicious use of high activity, dangerous radioactive sources by working with Australia’s neighbouring countries to improve their physical protection and security management of radioactive sources and their associated facilities throughout their life-cycle. In addition, this project aimed to improve countries’ radiological emergency preparedness and response capabilities to deal effectively and safely with radioactive sources out of regulatory control and malicious acts involving radioactive materials. The project assisted to prevent loss of control of radioactive sources and reduce the impact of radiological accidents, terrorism or other criminal misuse of radioactive materials.
