The 1985 Edition of the IAEA’s Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material reinforced the requirement placed on competent authorities to establish compliance assurance programmes that aim at ensuring that the Regulations are met in practice. This book is intended to provide further guidance on developing and implementing compliance assurance programmes to be used by competent a…
The IAEA has the specific statutory function within the United Nations system of establishing standards of safety for the protection of health against exposure to ionizing radiation. As part of this mandate, the IAEA has issued Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, and has also established the Transport Safety Appraisal Service (TranSAS) to carry out, at the request of Sta…
The importance of decommissioning has come to the fore in the past few years. Previously the requirements for safety during decommissioning had been considered as part of general waste management, but recently it was decided that this important part of a facility’s life needs to have definitive requirements specified. This publication provides such information.
In 1991, the International Atomic Energy Agency published Training Course Series No. 1 (TCS-1), a training manual that provides in 20 chapters a detailed discussion of the background, philosophy, technical bases and requirements and implementation aspects of the Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material. The Transport Regulations are widely implemented by the IAEA's Member Stat…
