What is the NRC doing to prevent a terrorist from using radioactive sources in a terrorist attack?
The NRC is currently reviewing aspects of its security recruitment for control of radioactive sources. This review may result in additional recommendations for increasing security and control to protect radioactive materials from a terrorist threat or other malevolent uses. NRC is also coordinating with the Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate the DOE program to retrieve unused and/or unwanted radioactive sources from NRC and Agreement State licensees.
