14-16 May 2008, APAT, Sala Fazzini, via Curtatone 3, Rome
The Department of Nuclear, Technological and Industrial Risk of APAT hosts, on behalf of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the subject workshop on the frequent cases of denial of shipment of radioactive material, even if prepared fully in compliance with the regulation in nuclear matters. Such a denial or delay of shipment can adversely affect various applications of the radioactive sources, including medical treatment and diagnoses, sterilization of health care products, scientific research and development, and usage in nuclear power production. The workshop is expected to stimulate the discussion among the experts with a view to better understand the reasons and the implications associated to denial or delay of shipment and to identify measures suitable to reduce or prevent such phenomena. A major objective of the workshop consists in setting the basis for establishing a database to track denial of shipment incidents.
