Content of the programme
This eLearning Programme aims to help customs officers to learn about the radioactive and nuclear control at the border (land, airport and seaport). The basic modules introduces them in the radioactive and nuclear materials, process, equipment, and raise awareness of the possible risks and threats and their role in detection. After that, the advanced module gives more details regarding the process and equipment to more experienced officers. We recommend integrating the courses in your own training programme and developing a full blended learning programme.
