Nuclear Security Detection and Monitoring Equipment Laboratories
Laboratory of Nuclear Security Detection and Monitoring Equipment at the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna helps countries more effectively identify and respond to nuclear security threats. From testing and maintenance to training and procurement, the Laboratory plays a key role in ensuring that radiation detection equipment is functional, reliable and ready for use.
The laboratory provides countries with advanced radiation detection equipment that can be used as part of nuclear security measures at major public events such as international conferences and sporting tournaments. It enables security personnel to detect and respond to potential nuclear security threats.
“The tour is an immersive experience, offering an inside look at the laboratory and the different types of radiation detection instruments available at the Laboratory,” says Itimad Sufi, head of the Nuclear Security for Materials Out of Regulatory Control Section. She adds that “through this virtual walk-through, users can see the detection technologies and learn how the equipment is maintained and tested.”
The tour provides an insight into the laboratory’s facilities and how its work is organised, as well as the opportunity to observe equipment in operation – a useful source of knowledge for those responsible for radiation safety and nuclear security planning and response, as well as an interactive experience for policy makers, industry professionals and the general public.
