Hospital In 2015, to support radiation safety programmes, we: Monitoring radiation at home and tackling international nuclear threats Monitoring of radiation exposure staff, nurses, doctors, medical radiographers and radiation workers involved in industrial radiography are some of the individuals who are regularly screened. Screened Analysed Issued Calibrated Conducted radiation workers for exposure to radiation in the course of their work thermoluminescent dosimeters as part of the mandatory dose monitoring programme for radiation workers ionising radiation-related licences and 13,478 non-ionising radiation-related licences as the industry regulator radiation survey meters and quartz fibre electrometers against the reference standard in NEA’s Secondary Standards Dosimetry Laboratory. These meters are used to monitor radiation leak tests on sealed radioactive sources and 1,586 food and non-food radiological analysis 13,260 63,398 17,857 452 870 0 1 2 3 4 5 54 Held in Washington, D.C. from 31 March to 1 April 2016, the Summit was the final leg in a series of summits convened to strategise to reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism. The 4th Summit resulted in a new initiative by 29 nations to strengthen nuclear cyber security within the nuclear industry. In addition, 22 nations accepted a gradual elimination of highly enriched uranium in civilian applications and a ban on highly enriched uranium in new civilian nuclear facilities. They also agreed to hold a conference in 2018. The Summit also produced five action plans for the International Atomic Energy Agency, United Nations, INTERPOL, the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism and By 2017, NEA will set up a national radiochemistry laboratory as part of Singapore’s National Security and Emergency Preparedness Programme. The laboratory will enhance Singapore’s ability to respond to nuclear incidents in other countries. The radiochemistry laboratory will focus on establishing baseline levels of background radiation in Singapore’s environment, food and water through the collection, monitoring and analysis of environmental samples, bearing in mind the possibility of upcoming nuclear power plants in the region. Playing a part in strengthening nuclear security Enhancing Singapore’s ability to respond to overseas nuclear incidents the Global Partnership against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction, in order to realise the objectives and purpose of the Nuclear Security Summit.
