It is also tasked with strengthening the management of the entire process of licensing, storage, transportation, use, and disposal of radioactive sources.

The Provincial Police, the Provincial Military Command, the Customs Sub-department of Region XII, and local authorities are strengthening inspections and controls on the transportation, storage, and use of radioactive sources. They are proactively detecting and preventing violations, ensuring that no radioactive sources are lost or used illegally, thus preventing safety hazards.
