PILOT PROJECT FOR CONTROL AND PREVENTION OF ILLICIT TRAFFICKING OF NUCLEAR AND RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL IN CROATIA

摘要

Croatia is having very long and complex border (2.373 km on land, 972 km on sea) with more then 170 land border crossings. Illicit trafficking in people and drugs is very probably occurring daily! Number and variety of international airports and sea ports, intensive nautical tourism, volume of goods in transit between Greece and the rest of EU, great number of border crossings on east south borders (SiCG and BiH) are just the most obvious reasons adding to complexity and expensiveness of full and reliable detection system. Croatia signed several international instruments calling for comprehensive national system of control of nuclear material as well as special equipment and non-nuclear materials. Project for control of nuclear and radioactive materials on Croatian borders was initiated at the beginning of 2002 based on IAEA standards and recommendations.
