         Her Excellency was invited to give a special talk on “Nuclear Security Cooperation between IAEA and Thailand” relating to international obligations on nuclear security. Given a global circumstance, nuclear security asserts its importance as a mechanism to ensure peaceful uses of nuclear applications in the world. Nuclear forensics has been one of technical areas contributing to strengthening nuclear security regime in both national and international levels. Her Excellency pointed out the importance of continued technical assistance that would help enhance national capabilities in nuclear security to meet international standards.
Around fifty people were in attendance. They are OAP executives, OAP officials and officials from relevant organizations including the Royal Thai Police, Central Intelligence Agency, Institute of Criminal Forensics.

         During November 4 - 8, 2019 in Pattaya, Thailand, the Office of Atoms for Peace (OAP) in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is hosting the Regional Workshop to Develop a Road Map for Building a Nuclear Security Detection Architecture. The primary objective of this workshop is to assist ASEAN member states in the preparation of a roadmap that will enable them to plan, organize and/or refine their nuclear security detection architecture (NSDA) for material out of regulatory control (MORC). In this occasion, OAP is pleased to welcome experts and a group of participants from Vietnam and Philippines to join together with Thai officials from various government agencies such as Thai Customs, National Intelligence Agency, and Office of the National Security Council.

           On February 12th 2018, Dr. Suvit Maesincee, Minister of Science and Technology and Mr. Yukiya Amano, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) attended the bilateral meeting regarding the development of nuclear and radiation regulation in Thailand together with Dr. Atchara Wongsaengchan, Secretary General of the Office of Atoms for Peace (OAP), Dr. PornthepNisamaneephong, Director of Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT), Prof.Dr. BanchongMahaisavariya, MD.President of Mahidol University participated in this engaging bilateral meeting.

           In addition, Dr. Maesincee addressed an issue with regard to regulating the ionizing radiation. Mr. Amano then stated his view based on the IAEA standards and principles,“For the IAEA, we have a very clear position to encourage that all ionizing radiation comes under relevant law and the independent regulator. And that means the regulator should be independent from the promotion and users. The basic principle is that everything related to radiation must be regulated by single law and under the authority of independent regulator.” Mr. Amano went on to emphasize the importance of this principle and suggested that Thailand may request for experts to build on understanding upon roles and responsibilities of the regulatory body in Thailand.

Meeting on Wednesday 180315 0008

Moving Forward Together with Ionising Radiation Metrology:

Workshop on Quality Audit for Radiation Protection Calibration for Standard Dosimetry Laboratory

in South East Asia Region

 

RATIONAL BACKGROUND

National Standard Dosimetry Laboratory in each country is responsible for establishing and maintaining the national measurement standard, providing calibration service and transferring the measurement unit to the user. There are two types of Standard Dosimetry Laboratory: Primary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (PSDL) and Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL). PSDL directly measures the ionizing radiation quantities in SI unit such as J/kg and C/kg. The uncertainty of measurement of PSDL is less than ±1%. Whilst, SSDL has to trace the standard to PSDL by sending their measurement instrument to PSDL. So, the uncertainty of measurement of SSDL is bigger than PSDL (around 2-3%).  Currently, there is no PSDL in ASEAN region.

The intercomparison programme among the national standard dosimetry in ASEAN should be initiated to support the activities for assuring the quality of measurement and to harmonize the standards for ionizing radiation metrology among the ASEAN countries. The intercomparison programme is a crucial activity to upgrade the quality of life of the people in ASEAN. The rapid growth in the use of radiation technique in many fields such as medical, industrial and radiation protection applications made accurate radiation dosimetry and calibration ever more important to confirm the safety uses and to prevent the radiological risk of stochastic effect. However, the accurate dose measurement, especially in developing countries, requires the adequate calibration facilities and quality assurance programme such as intercomparison programme to maintain their standards. No such the standard dosimetry laboratory network and intercomparison programme was initiated in ASEAN.

This project is a part of the regional framework to build Asia-Pacific Standards Dosimetry Laboratories capabilities toward regional sustainable network approved by APEC. There are two parts for this project: inter-laboratory comparison exercise amongst ASEAN member states and Workshop on Quality Audit for Radiation Protection Calibration for Standard Dosimetry Laboratory in South East Asia Region which supported by ASEANNEXT 2018 project.

This workshop will initiate the intercomparison programme, review the regional framework and action plan to achieve sustainable development of the network.

 

EVENT PURPOSE

  1. To establish the Standard dosimetry laboratories network in Southeast Asia
  2. To conduct the intercomparison between the Standard Dosimetry Laboratory in ASEAN
  3. To perform the chain of traceability to Primary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory
  4. To improve the quality audit system for supporting ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation system for Standard dosimetry laboratories in Southeast Asia

CONTRIBUTION TO ASEAN

  1. Standard dosimetry laboratories network in Southeast Asia
  2. First intercomparison programme for radiation protection calibration organized by ASEAN
  3. Technical support/advise from PSDL
  4. Intercomparison result to support ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation system
