    Illicit trafficking of radioactive materials and regulatory issues in Turkey
    (Turkish Atomic Energy Authority, 2000-10) Uslu, İbrahim; Birol, Erdener; 139698; TAEK-RSGD
    The recycle and reuse of materials have been increasing during recent years, particularly because of recognition of the economic opportunities presented, but also because of an increased societal awareness of the desirability of conserving raw materials and natural resources. Lost, stolen and abandoned sources appearing in recycled metals constitute a world wide problem. Radioactive sources sometimes incorporate into scrap metal for subsequent recycling. Most of these incidents have resulted in significant levels of radioactive contamination with the attendant risks to employees and the general public. During the past decade there have been numerous accidents where these shielded sources have been accidentally mixed with scrap metal, and have been subsequently melted or ruptured particularly in steel making process. For controlling of incoming trucks and trains in case the presence of radioactive sources hidden in the scrap, there is a need to establish a radiation detecting system. In Turkey in addition to pocket sized or handheld radiation monitors, fixed or mobile panel detection systems will also be used in the detection of illicit trafficking of radiation sources and contaminated scrap material. But besides this activity; training courses have been carried out to improve the knowledge and skills of workers and the customs officers dealing with radiation sources and scrap materials.

    Regulatory structure of radiological safety issues in Turkey
    (Turkish Atomic Energy Authority, 2000-10) Uslu, İbrahim; Birol, Erdener; 139698; TAEK-RSGD
    In Turkey, Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEA) is the main responsible and national competent authority for all nuclear and radiological activities. The Radiation Health and Safety Department of TAEA is the regulatory body concerning the use, exportation, importation, storage, transportation, transferring and licensing of radiation sources or equipments and also implementation of the provision of the regulations dealing with the above-mentioned matters. The regulatory structure of TAEA, legal instruments for radiation protection, legislation, radiation source and waste management, inspection, training program on the safe uses of radiation sources will be discussed in this paper.
