Transport of radioactive materials new IAEA regulations - ST-1 (TS-R-1)

摘要

In December 1996, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published the 1996 Edition of the Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (which replaces Safety Series No. 6) in a document called ST-1 (ST-1 was later revised and is now known as TS-R-1). For marine shipments under the IMO/IMDG Code, the new TS-R-1 regulations came into effect January 1, 2001 with a transition period of 12 months (i.e. mandatory compliance as of January 1, 2002). For air shipments under the ICAO Technical instructions, the new radioactive transport regulations took effect July 1, 2001, with no transition period.
