International Catalogue of Sealed Radioactive Sources and Devices (ICSRS)

The system includes data on sources, the devices housing the sources, and details of manufacturers and suppliers worldwide.

The ICSRS includes a visual guide to enable identification of the generic type of product according to its outward appearance (e.g. shape, size, weight). Based on the data currently available, the ICSRS can assist in the characterization of specific models to allow safe handling of these items.

If at any time you require more information, please write to ICSRS Contact point.
