The iia Information Hub aims to provide material which will be of value to iia members. Information sources will be categorised so as to collate data into recognisable and useful areas of interest. We aim to ensure that listed categories are dynamic so that they can be updated to reflect changing areas of interest and concern.
The iia is an active member of the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council (CNIC). Canada has led the way internationally when it comes to the research, development and production of medical isotopes and pharmaceuticals. Most of the global supply of cobalt 60 is produced in the Canadian...
WINS is a professional institute committed to building an international community of nuclear security professionals who are demonstrably competent and willing to work together to strengthen the security of nuclear and other radioactive materials. The iia has partnered with WINS on a number of security related...
The Transport Facilitation Working Group (TFWG) is a standing group of experts whose role is to propose strategies and activities necessary to facilitate the safe and secure global transport of radioactive materials, and to contribute to their implementation. It submits regular reports to the Inter-Agency...
