The Challenges For Investigation/Detection In Combating Trafficking Of Radioactive Sources In Albania
Conference paper
The paper presents an overview of inalienable of radioactive sources and sporadic illicit trafficking of radioactive materials as new phenomena in Albania. The Institute of Nuclear Physics and Radiation Protection Office undertook the sealed radiation sources and radioactive thermoelectrically generators' situation in Albania. During the investigations of worker's group, some metallic scrap and spent radiation sources, which have penetrated from neighbor countries in illicit manner, were found. The most important output of this study is the evidence of the orphan/lost/found and conditioned radiation sources in Albanian territory during 1960–2007.
