Illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive material has been an issue of concern since the first seizures in the early 1990s. By the end of 2004, IAEA member states had confirmed 540 cases with another 500 unconfirmed. This publication contains a set of technical specifications that can be used in the design testing, qualifying and purchasing of border radiation monitoring equipment, drawing on work undertaken through an IAEA co-ordinated research project as well as relevant national and international standards.

Illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive material has been an issue of concern since the first seizures in the early 1990s. Postal services worldwide apply strict measures to regulate the mailing of radioactive material and other dangerous goods, and some countries have set up procedures for monitoring the mail stream to detect illegally transported radioactive material. This publication considers control procedures and detection systems for screening nuclear or other radioactive material in mail processing operations, including threat scenarios, distribution paths and monitoring strategies, radiation monitoring equipment, a model response plan, and staff training issues.
