Radiactive Waste Facility Taken Over
Print View Posted on: 03 March 2025
Event Date: 02 March 2025 Event Type: Radiation Source Event Location: Mexico, Temascalapa, Mexico State, Mexico INES Rating: 2 (Provisional)
On March the 2nd,2025 at approximately 6:30 AM (UTC-6), personnel from the municipality of Temascalapa forcibly took over the
Low and Medium Level Radioactive Waste Storage Center (CADER), evicting the personnel from the National Institute of Nuclear
Research (ININ), who were working at the facility and subsequently placing seals of closure at the entrances.
The video surveillance and environmental radiation monitoring systems that CADER has were disabled and there is no way to
know the current status inside the Center.
Negotiations are being carried out between personnel from the government of the State of Mexico and the Municipality of
Temascalapa, without reaching agreements so far.
In addition to the radioactive material and depleted uranium that are being kept in the facility, work tools from a foreign company
were also retained inside it.
Currently, Federal Authorities are working to regain control of the facility.
The source term of the facility is estimated at approximately 1,041.55 TBq of Co-60 and its surface area is 16.2 HA

Synopsis
The objective of the Cybersecurity Innovation for Cyberinfrastructure (CICI) program is to advance scientific discovery and innovation by enhancing the security and privacy of cyberinfrastructure. CICI supports efforts to develop, deploy and integrate cybersecurity that will benefit the broader scientific community by securing science data, computation, collaborations workflows, and infrastructure. CICI recognizes the unique nature of modern, complex, data-driven, distributed, rapid, and collaborative science and the breadth of infrastructure and requirements across scientific disciplines, practitioners, researchers, and projects. CICI seeks proposals in four program areas:
1. Usable and Collaborative Security for Science (UCSS): Projects in this program area should support novel and/or applied security and usability research that facilitates scientific collaboration, encourages the adoption of security into the scientific workflow, and helps create a holistic, integrated security environment that spans the entire scientific cyberinfrastructure ecosystem.
2. Reference Scientific Security Datasets (RSSD): Projects in
