摘要

The transport of radioactive material in France concerns the nuclear fuel cycle, research, medical use and inspections in civil industry and real estate. Some of these transports are performed with packages, the design of which must be approved by the competent authority. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Transport Regulations, the competent authority shall be informed of the serial number of each packaging manufactured according to an approved design, i.e. for type B or type C packages or for a package containing fissile material or uranium hexafluoride.
