Building Counter-Nuclear Smuggling Capabilities in Ukraine

This project seeks to reduce the threat of stolen or illicitly trafficked nuclear or radiological materials to the Ukrainian and neighbouring populations. This addresses areas with imminent threats and security vulnerabilities including near sensitive nuclear facilities and Ukraine’s larger most populous cities. Project activities include: (1) providing radiation detection communication patrol equipment and mobile detection vehicles to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine; and (2) providing related operational and maintenance training on the equipment.

The expected outcome of this project includes improved detection and response to nuclear or radiological security incidents by the State Emergency Services of Ukraine. This is mainly in areas at high risk of smuggling and near nuclear and radiological facilities.
