Summary

Requires the task force to: (1) provide recommendations to ensure the security of sealed sources from potential terrorist threats, including acts of sabotage, theft, or use of such sources in a radiological dispersal device; and (2) report triennially to Congress and to the President on recommended regulatory and legislative changes for specified security enhancements pertaining to sealed sources.
