DETAILS OF ASSISTANCE BEING PROVIDED TO NSOI-DEVELOPED PROJECTS

UNITED KINGDOM

The United Kingdom has agreed to provide assistance to the Government of Ukraine for design and construction of a new, long-term storage facility for disused radioactive sources. This facility will replace the six regional Radons that currently store such sources, providing a single, central facility where disused sources can be stored safely and securely.

The UK has also agreed to assist the Government of Tajikistan in upgrading security at the radioactive source storage facility at Fayzabad. If the UK’s assessment of the facility determines that additional capacity is needed, the UK will also provide support for construction of a second storage building there.

NOTE: This page describes only those assistance efforts that correspond to projects developed by NSOI. For a comprehensive description of each country's or
organization's full program of anti-nuclear smuggling assistance, please contact that government or organization. More details on the wider UK Government Threat Reduction Programmes can be found at their website http://www.berr.gov.uk./energy/non-proliferation/page40872.html.
