There are long standing legal controls on the use, storage and transport of radioactive sources. It is the user’s responsibility to comply with this legislation. Compliance is monitored by the Environment Agencies (England and Wales and Scotland), the Health and Safety Executive and the Department for Transport. Part of the legislation is to ensure the security of sources to prevent their loss, misuse or misappropriation.
