In the Randall-Sundrum scenario the compactification radius of the extra dimension is stabilized by the radion, which is a scalar field lighter than the graviton Kaluza-Klein states. It implies that the detection of the radion will be the first signature of the stabilized Randall-Sundrum model. In this paper we study the exclusive production of the radion in electromagnetic and diffractive hadron--hadron collisions at the LHC. Our results demonstrate that the diffractive production of the radion is dominant and should be feasible of study at the CERN LHC.
