[null,null,"Providing free and open access to centralized information on material that has been lost, stolen, or is otherwise out of regulatory control, the Global Incidents and Trafficking Database prepared by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) offers researchers and policymakers a unique resource to assess the nature and scope of nuclear security risks. "]
[null,null,"The database relies on a mix of official (e.g., regulatory agencies) and unofficial (e.g., media reports) sources.  The  annual reports, and subsequent reports, will highlight relevant implications for policymakers working to improve nuclear security. The database enables researchers to examine trends and assess the impact of new policies designed to reduce the nuclear security risks posed by materials out of regulatory control."]
[]
[null,null,"Methodology"]
[]
[null,null,"Searches of official and media sources were conducted from January 2013 to June 2018. In total, searches were conducted in over a dozen languages by native or near native speakers. The use of native and near native language speakers allowed the research team to include governmental agencies, and national news sites and search engines. The use of multiple languages allowed the research team to specifically conduct in-depth native language searches."]
[]
[null,null,"During in-depth searches, researchers first looked for incidents reported by each country's regulatory authority. This included searches for official reports and news sections of official agencies. Searches were conducted for daily and annual reports. Second, researchers utilized national search engines to search for incidents. National search engines included Google engines in various languages, for example, google.es for Spanish-speaking countries. Third, researchers used academic and research search engines such as Lexis Nexis, EBSCO, and others. Fourth, researchers searched international and regional organizations such as the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group for official and news reports."]
[null,null,"Researchers did not l limit their results to the language or country specifically searched, but included all results found. For example, a Japanese linguist did not simply search for incidents in Japan, but also searched Japanese sources for incidents worldwide."]
[]
[null,null,"Researchers utilized a number of key words to facilitate the search process. Primary keywords used included:"]
[]
[null,null,null,"·         Nuclear, radioactive, radiological material"]
[null,null,null,"·         Loss, lost, theft, stolen, missing, misplaced, out of regulatory control"]
[null,null,null,"·         Found, recovered, discovered, trafficking, traffic, smuggle, smuggled, disappeared"]
[null,null,null,"·         Searchers were conducted for specific materials by name"]
[]
[null,null,"Additional search functions, such as the use of date ranges, and search operators (+, -, “..”, etc) were used to facilitate the search process."]
[]
[null,null,"Researchers were provided the category and subcategory definitions found on sheet 3 of this workbook to classify incident details. Researchers were instructed to classify events with the subcategory that best fit. Researchers were instructed to use only the information provided in a report in classifying data. Each individual researcher provided all data and incidents to a central researcher who input all incidents into the main database. A project manager then vetted the data case by case, ensuring consistency of incident classification.  "]
[null,null,"Researchers are not proactively updating incidents already recorded in the database. However, if in the course of research for new incidents, researchers encounter previous incidents with updated information, the database will be updated accordingly. Therefore, the data that appears here may vary from previously downloaded versions of the database and the report as incidents may be added, deleted, or changed as new information becomes available. While this may alter specific numbers of cases or incidents in each subcategory, it is unlikely that any changes will alter trends or percentages already presented. Consequently, published reports will not be updated to reflect minor changes in the database. "]

The man was a professor and the two women discovered a five-gallon can filled with, what appeared to be, lead. The widow believed it to contain radium needles. The woman contacted BRP on April 21, 2013 to arrange pickup of the can for delivery to OSU. Radiological surveys were conducted the next day by BRP, inspectors were unable to identify the material as radium. The device was stored in secure radioactive material storage at the OSU Radiation Safety Office. BRP contacted US-EPA on April 23, 2013 for assistance in identification and disposal of device and material. \n\nAt the widow's request, BRP inspected the house again on May 2, 2013 and discovered a second canister, identified as containing radium.
