INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE IN TRANSPORTATION SABOTAGE INVESTIGATIONS

An international working group has been formed to study the consequences of terrorist attacks and the behavior of systems used to store and transport radioactive materials. The group includes representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. To deal with the sensitive information common in this area of study, a formal agreement is being developed by the group. While an appropriate agreement is being established, the group has identified and begun work on a project that is mutually beneficial, and not encumbered by the need for access to sensitive information.
