Ukraine and Moldova have also highlighted a common need for advanced practical training for law enforcement and nuclear regulatory authorities in countries trafficking radiological material through detection, particularly by intelligence gathering and sharing. Additionally, ensuring that nuclear security practitioners are well-trained, while a longterm process, should be given priority.
