Description

The possibility that nuclear or other radioactive material could be used for malicious purposes cannot be ruled out in the current global situation. Given that this problem is global, the contribution of each state is very important for achieving a common goal. In this regards, the necessary efforts are being made in Republic of Azerbaijan to strengthen the protection and control of such materials and to respond effectively to nuclear security events. The creation of appropriate regulatory bodies, the improvement and development of legislation and regulations, the introduction of a graded approach to control, as well as participation in various international projects and the development of international cooperation make an invaluable contribution to the development of existing infrastructure. However, as in many areas, along with achievements in ensuring state control and supervision over the security of radioactive materials, there are also difficulties associated with the need to continuously improve the knowledge and professional training of staff, improve the material and technical base, introduce advanced technologies, etc. Taking into account the above, the paper will consider both the existing practice and taken measures for sustaining and strengthening efforts for Nuclear Security in Azerbaijan.
