Description (excerpt):

The industry believes that safety is the key measure that should govern regulation of radioactive materials. Such an approach establishes controls on radioactive materials based on the potential for security risks and detrimental health effects if a radioactive material is used improperly. Stricter controls are placed on materials that generate more radiation.
