assistance to third countries in combating illicit trafficking in nuclear and radioactive materials

Localization, transport and burial of radioactive waste, deactivating materials and maintaining radioactive waste repositories

These can include attacks against facilities that contain radiological materials or shipments of such substances.

France takes note of the concerns that the transportation of radioactive materials raises among some island States.

For other materials, like composites, the reflection of radar signals is weaker.

(a) Unlawfully and intentionally uses or threatens to use nuclear material, nuclear fuel, radioactive products, radioactive material, their radioactive properties or a combination of radioactive properties with toxic, explosive or other dangerous properties

A metamaterial is an artificial material, which manipulates, in this case, electromagnetic radiation, in a way that you couldn't otherwise.

(f) To use two generic terms, namely nuclear material and other radioactive material

62 46. Preventing the acquisition by terrorists of radioactive materials and sources

Project Geiger Collects and analyses data on the theft of radiological material

Accurate information on monitoring of radioactive materials must be accessible to the public.

Strong controls should also be applied to the export of radiological materials to ensure their use only for peaceful purposes.

(c) Where the act is perpetrated using explosive or inflammable materials, or toxic, incendiary, contaminant, bacteriological, chemical or radioactive and other similar materials.

IAEA has explained its Illicit Trafficking Database on nuclear and radiological materials.

We share information on incidents of trafficking in radiological materials with IAEA and cooperate with Europol and Interpol in joint meetings on illicit trafficking of nuclear and radiological materials.

Taking note of the relevant resolutions of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency on safety of transport of radioactive materials,

(e) To create a generic term for radioactive material

4. Radioactive products mean any radioactive material produced in the process of producing or using nuclear fuel, or any material which has become radioactive through radiation as a result of the production or use of nuclear fuel, with the exception of radio isotopes which have reached the final stage of manufacture and have thus become suitable for utilization for scientific, medical, agricultural, commercial or industrial purposes.

In order to study it, it has been decided to build the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) in Japan. Some scientists have argued that the neutron irradiation in IFMIF won t be the same as in fusion reactors, but it should be noted that its cost, at one billion euros, will be one tenth that of ITER.

Peru is particularly concerned by the issue of the maritime transportation of radioactive materials.

It also actively encouraged States to adhere to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and convened a number of international conferences on the security of nuclear and other radioactive material.

Recognizing the importance of preventing terrorists from acquiring or developing nuclear weapons or related materials, radioactive materials, equipment and technology,

Implementing effective domestic controls on nuclear and radioactive materials and relevant equipment and technology, including export controls.

16. IAEA also provided current information of its database programme for illicit trafficking incidents involving nuclear materials and other radioactive sources.

Since Nigeria's draft resolution covers radioactive material that has been abandoned and its transport abroad, we are focusing here on materials and sources currently in use, and on action to be taken by States on their own territory.

ACOMEX The Advanced Composite Material Exposure Experiment (ACOMEX) was also a Shuttle based experiment flown on STS 41G in October 1994.

Attention must be paid to fissile materials to ensure that they are used for peaceful purposes throughout the world.

Belarus is engaging in successful cooperation with the Agency in countering the illegal circulation and smuggling of nuclear and radioactive materials.

The significance of the Convention lies in the fact that it will prevent individuals or groups of people from gaining access to radioactive or nuclear materials that may be used to provoke a state of terror in the public domain.

There have been embarrassing security lapses at nuclear facilities, and sensitive material is often inadequately secured. Indeed, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) records numerous cases of theft and other unauthorized activities involving nuclear and radioactive material every year.

MELEO The Materials Exposure in Low Earth Orbit (MELEO) was an active experiment flown on Shuttle mission STS 52 in October 1992.

2. Other radioactive material means material, other than that defined in paragraph 1 above, which contains nuclides which undergo spontaneous disintegration (a process accompanied by emission of one or more types of ionizing radiation such as alpha , beta , neutron particles and gamma rays) and which material may, due to its radiological properties, cause death, serious bodily injury or extensive destruction to property

In keeping with the State's efforts to combat the smuggling of radioactive sources and guarantee that such sources (and specifically, sealed radioactive sources, widely used in the industrial and medical fields) do not fall into the hands of terrorist groups, the various Egyptian services currently apply suitable procedures for intensive monitoring of the movements of nuclear, chemical and biological materials, as follows

The safety record with regard to the maritime transportation of radioactive material is excellent no accident has ever occurred.

Ensuring effective national nuclear security capability, including technical capacity for the detection of illicit trafficking of nuclear and radioactive materials and relevant equipment and technology.

(a) (i) The use or threat of the use of nuclear material, nuclear fuel, radioactive products or waste, or any other radioactive substances, their radioactive properties or a combination of radioactive properties with toxic, explosive or other dangerous properties

Through an FMCT we would cut off the production of the most dangerous nuclear fissile materials those destined to nuclear explosions.

The insecticide impregnation is done during the manufacture of the materials.

This activity ensured that effective measures were in place to detect and interdict incidents of theft, illicit possession and illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials.

The Bill also creates offences relating to the use of radioactive materials, radioactive devices, or nuclear facilities for the purposes of terrorism.

Work continued on the implementation of the coordinated research project entitled Improvement of technical measures to detect and respond to illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials .

Unauthorized production and possession of radioactive material and seriously hazardous substances

By the same token, since the Indian draft resolution deals with fissile nuclear material being used to manufacture nuclear bombs, we decided to focus on other radioactive material.

UNICRI launched the Programme Strengthening International Cooperation to Combat Illicit Trafficking and Criminal Use of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Material (CBRN).
