RESULTS OF PROTECTIVE MEASURES AGAINST IONIZING RADIATION AT BORDER CROSSINGS IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA

摘要

The Institute of Security has, in accordance with a directive from the Federal Government, designed and placed stationary monitors of gamma-radiation at border crossings at Kelebija, Horgos, Vatin, Gradina. Presevo, Djeneral Jankovic, Batrovci, and at the Djerdap-I shiplock. Some of the results of these protective measures are described in the paper. Radiological checks at border crossings are vital for every country, in view of current concerns over smuggling of strategic radioactive material, problems related to nuclear-waste disposal, etc. In the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, several authorities are involved - including the Federal Secretariat for Labour, Health and Social Security, institutions responsible for protection against ionizing radiation, and institutes authorized in the field of operative dosimetric spot-checks - to ensure compliance with protocols for radiological controls at border crossings.
