What are regulations on radiological weapons in Vietnam?
There are latest regulations on preventing and countering proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. I want to ask about regulations on radiological weapons in Vietnam.
Thank you!
Pursuant to Clause 3 Article 4 of the Decree 81/2019/NĐ-CP (takes effect from 11/11/2019) stipulating radiological weapons in Vietnam as follows:
“Radiological weapons” refer to weapons utilizing radioactive materials to inflict casualties via ionizing radiation which causing radioactive contamination in surrounding environment, technical equipment and other entities. Radioactive materials can be obtained from products of nuclear reactors or synthesized. Radiological weapons include ammunition containing radioactive materials, means of delivering them to targets or other equipment for spraying and spreading. Radiological weapons inflict damage by external exposure and internal exposure to radiation, harming body organs and causing radiation sickness.
Above are regulations on radiological weapons in Vietnam.
Best regards!
