Policy details

Since 2006, KINS has been developing and operating the'Radiation Source Location Tracking Management System (RADLOT)' that tracks, manages, and monitors the movement of radiation sources in real time using wireless communication and convergence technologies such as GPS.
KINS will continue to share and cooperate with the international community on the radiation source location tracking management system. In addition, it is expected to make a significant contribution to promoting global nuclear security and reducing the threat of nuclear terrorism.
Its purpose is to track and manage the location information of radiation devices in real time in the central control system, prevent loss of radiation sources, and quickly track accidents in case of loss. In addition, it is possible to prevent secondary accidents that may occur in the case of inappropriate use of radiation sources and terrorism using radiation sources.
KINS operates 1568 radiation source location tracking terminals used for radiography, and is establishing a monitoring and monitoring system for the movement of radiation sources nationwide.
Until May 2017, it developed a location tracking system that fits the situation in Vietnam and was finally transferred, which is the first case of successful application to other countries. It is evaluated that the extended applicability of Korea's radiation source location tracking management technology has been proven.
KINS will continue to share and cooperate with the international community on the radiation source location tracking management system. In addition, it is expected to make a significant contribution to promoting global nuclear security and reducing the threat of nuclear terrorism.
