19. Medical irradiation is the largest source of man made exposure of the population.

Calls for tighter security for high activity radioactive sources.

The scope of the Code of Conduct for the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources was expanded from radiological safety to include radiological security.

Also in accordance with the Programme, radioactive sources are recycled for use, if possible, or efforts are directed towards their safe burial after their preparation in accordance with technically suitable methods.

Implementation of the provisions of the IAEA Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources and of the supporting document entitled Guidance on the Import and Export of Radioactive Sources

The EU welcomes the internationally harmonized guidelines on the import and export of radioactive sources, which are in line with the requirements set out in the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources.

France is active in the realm of radioactive sources.

All sources of ionizing radiation and radioactive substances imported and stored in Lithuania as well as exported from Lithuania are recorded on the accounting system that is maintained by the Radiation Protection Centre.

Calls for tighter security for high activity radioactive sources.

This programme comprises the operation of a still in use no longer in service database which includes, for such sources, the related import documents, the types and intensity of the sources, the locations where they are used, the means for transporting and storing them, responsibility for them and the related physical protection systems.

In addition, OSCE participating States were examining the possibility of supporting the IAEA Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources and the guidance on the import and export of radioactive substances.

Recognizing the essential contribution of radioactive materials and sources to social and economic development, and the benefits drawn from their use for all States,

Taking note also of the importance of the code of conduct on the safety and security of radioactive sources as a valuable instrument for enhancing the safety and security of radioactive sources, while recognizing that the code is not a legally binding instrument, and of the International Atomic Energy Agency revised action plan for the safety and security of radioactive sources and its nuclear security plan for 2006 2009,

Canada has adhered to the IAEA Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources, and has agreed to implement the relative guidance on the export and import of sources by 31 December 2005.

We therefore fully share the objective of preventing the risk of radiological terrorism and support international efforts to deny terrorists any opportunity to acquire and use radiological materials and sources.

9. Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its sixty fourth session an item entitled Preventing the acquisition by terrorists of radioactive materials and sources .

19. The Committee is now the major international body which reviews the exposure of the world population to all radioactive sources under normal circumstances and after major radiological accidents.

480. In addition, the National Radio Protection Centre has at its disposal appropriate legislation for monitoring ionising radiation and the use of radioactive products and materials in the country, thus preventing radioactive sources from being used for purposes other than those for which they are intended and providing protection against the dangers of ionising radiation.

Taking note also of the importance of the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources as a valuable instrument for enhancing the safety and security of radioactive sources, while recognizing that the Code is not a legally binding instrument, and of the International Atomic Energy Agency Revised Action Plan for the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources and its Nuclear Security Plan for 2006 2009,
