ionizing radiation sources. The Radiation Protection Commission has over all role for security in Albania based on the

Material in Albania has the objective(s) to establish the basic requirements for physical protection of radioactive sources,
and apply to all activities relating to the possession, use, storage and transportation of radioactive sources. Physical
