Summary

Proceedings of an international conference jointly organized by the EC, IAEA, Interpol and WCO and held in Dijon, France, 14-18 September 1998. The conference was the first of its kind devoted to this subject and brought together radiation safety experts, regulators, and customs and police officers, in order to foster information exchange through a review of the state of the art and open discussions. The need was expressed for the formulation of international recommendations concerned with the effective operation of national systems for ensuring the safety of radiation sources and the security of radioactive materials. These proceedings contain the keynote address, the invited papers, summaries of discussions and session summaries. Together with IAEA-TECDOC-1045, published in 1998 prior to the conference, they constitute the complete record of the conference.
