  2. - The Chadian Agency of Radiation Protection and Nuclear Security (ATRSN) is the regulatory authority for radiation protection and nuclear security in the Republic of Chad. It was created by Law No. 002 / PR / 2008 on Radiological Safety, Nuclear Security and Guarantees. Chapter 4 of the Act sets out the conditions and obligations for ensuring the physical protection of nuclear substances and ionizing radiation sources.

  4. In Chad, the State ensures physical protection of radioactive substances during importation, exportation, transit or transport in accordance with international requirements. Therefore, the Government assigned to the ATRSN the responsibility: To establish sustained cooperation in this field with the other Member States and the IAEA In order to maintain rigorous control of movement of nuclear substances. In the case of lost, theft or diversion of a radioactive source or nuclear material, the licensee should inform the ATRSN and the gendarmerie or police authorities within a period of 24 hours.

  5. The licensee should therefore put in place a system for the physical protection of radioactive substances and ionizing radiation sources. Any transfer of radioactive substance or ionizing radiation sources may only take place between right persons authorized by the ATRSN. The transmission of confidential information on measures of Physical Protection to an unauthorized person is prohibited in Chad. The above-mentioned Act clearly identifies the ATRSN as the competent authority and assigns its role and responsibility to regulate activities involving ionizing radiation sources and radioactive substances.
