The purpose of this revision is to add international scope for the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Radiological Source Disposition Project funded by the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Office of Radiological Security (ORS). ORS focuses its resources on the security of sources including cesium-137, cobalt-60, americium-241, and iridium-192.INL works with countries and international organizations to identify, secure, remove and facilitate the disposition of high-risk radiological materials that pose a threat to national and international security, public health, and safety. This project recovers disused and unwanted radiological sources from sites throughout more than 80 countries. The scope, work activities, and environmental aspect from the original EC remain the same.
