Prevention. detection and response to nuclear and radiological threats

---

This was the second workshop held in Annenia on this important subject. The first workshop (entitled 'Countering Nuclear/Radiological Terrorism') was held in September 2005. It was so successful that the participants thought there was a need to continue the dialogue through a second NATO workshop on the subject. The objective of the present workshop was the same as the first: (a) to identify connections between technology needs and the underlying science and technology, and (b) to establish research strategies that will advance our ability to counter this form of terrorism. The objectives were met by bringing together international experts familiar with the relevant technologies and policies.rnrnThe workshop brought together representatives of 16 countries from North America, Western Europe, Israel, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The 50-80 attendees (depending on day) were primarily from governmental organizations and public and private research institutes. Financial and programmatic support was from NATO through their Public Diplomacy Division, Collaborative Programmes Section, and the organizing committee is extremely appreciative of this support. Additional financial support for CIS participants was from the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC), headquartered in Moscow. Several organizations in different countries thought the workshop of sufficient importance to send attendees without getting support from NATO or ISTC. As before, the workshop was expertly organized by the Advanced Science and Technology Center, ASTEC, in Yerevan, Annenia.rn
