Monitoring for inadvertent movement and illicit trafficking of radioactive material

This document specifies methods and means of monitoring for inadvertent movement and illicit trafficking of radioactive material. It provides guidelines on the use of both stationary and portable, for example hand-held, instruments to monitor for radiation signatures from radioactive material. Emphasis is placed on the operational aspects, i.e., requirements derived for monitoring of traffic and commodities mainly at border-crossing facilities. Although the term border is used repeatedly in this document, it is meant to apply not only to international land borders but also maritime ports, airports, and similar locations where goods or individuals are being checked. This document does not specifically address the issue of detection of radioactive materials at recycling facilities, although it is recognized that transboundary movement of metals for recycling occurs, and that monitoring of scrap metals might be done at the borders of a state. This document is applicable to — regulatory bodies and other competent authorities seeking guidance on implementation of action plans to combat illicit trafficking, — law enforcement agencies, for example border guards, to obtain guidelines on recommended monitoring procedures, — equipment manufacturers in order to understand minimum requirements derived from operational necessities according to this document, and — end-users of radiation detection equipment applicable to this document.

Surveillance des mouvements non déclarés et des trafics illicites de matière radioactive

Le présent document spécifie des méthodes et moyens de surveillance des mouvements non déclarés et des trafics illicites de matière radioactive. Il fournit des lignes directrices d’utilisation d’instruments fixes et mobiles, par exemple des instruments portables, qui permettent de rechercher les signatures de rayonnement de matières radioactives. Il insiste particulièrement sur les aspects opérationnels, c’est-à-dire les exigences établies pour la surveillance de la circulation et des marchandises, surtout au niveau des passages de frontières. Bien que le terme frontière soit fréquemment utilisé dans le présent document, il convient d’indiquer qu’il désigne ici non seulement les frontières terrestres internationales, mais également les ports maritimes, les aéroports et endroits similaires où l’on contrôle des marchandises ou des personnes. Le présent document ne traite pas spécifiquement la question de la détection des matières radioactives au niveau des installations de recyclage bien qu’il soit reconnu que des mouvements transfrontaliers de métaux à recycler interviennent et que la surveillance de métaux de rebut puisse se faire aux frontières d’un État. Le présent document s’applique: — aux organismes de réglementation et aux autres autorités compétentes qui souhaitent obtenir des recommandations sur la mise en œuvre des plans d’action de lutte contre le trafic illicite; — les organismes chargés de l’application de la loi, par exemple les gardes-frontières, afin d’obtenir des lignes directrices sur les procédures de contrôle recommandées; — aux fabricants d’équipements afin de comprendre les exigences minimales découlant des nécessités opérationnelles conformément au présent document; — aux utilisateurs finaux d’équipements de détection de rayonnements applicables au présent document.
