NNSA and Romania’s CNCAN celebrate 15 years of partnership in advancing radiological security

"Facilitating the continuous use of radioactive sources while ensuring they are used in a secure manner to protect individuals, society, and the environment remains a challenge for the actors involved in this area. With the support of ORS, the Romanian facilities received valuable support which helped to prevent radioactive sources from being used in malicious acts globally," said Cantemir Ciurea-Ercau, CNCAN President.

ORS's mission is to enhance global security by preventing radioactive materials from use in acts of terrorism. ORS works with government, law enforcement, and businesses across the globe to protect radioactive sources used for medical, research, and commercial purposes; removes and disposes of disused radioactive sources; and reduces the global reliance on radioactive sources through the promotion of non-radioisotopic alternative technologies.
