SRP and the World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS) hosted a special one-day workshop on 3rd November and SRP has now become a member of WINS.

The objective of the Workshop was to share best practices and to enhance the security of High Activity Radioactive Sources used in Medical, Research & Industrial Applications.

Sixty delegates attended despite travel problems caused by a London Underground strike that day; most were from the UK but there were also attendees from USA, Ireland, Norway and The Netherlands. Please click here for a detailed report of the day.

SRP is considering launching a Security Topic Group and expressions of interest are invited. Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you would like to join this group or express support for the idea.
