Journal: International Journal of Nuclear Security
Year: 2017

Planning for the future of nuclear security is a vital and complex task, requiring cooperation and contribution from many disciplines and industries. This diversity of expertise should include the medical sector, which faces many of the same challenges as the nuclear industry: controlling access to dangerous material, creating a strong security culture, cooperating with the wider world and engaging the public. Medical physicists, of which the author is one, oversee all aspects of small-scale rad
