Review of the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (TS-R-1) [updated information]

The IAEA is intending to update their Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (TS-R-1) to:
  • take into account the TRANSSC 19 decisions on the issues requiring regulatory change (a summary of the key issues agreed are in the Annex); and
  • remain consistent with the review cycles of the UN Committee of Experts (which produces “model regulations” for the transport of all dangerous goods) and the various international modal organizations (which produce mode-specific dangerous goods regulations).

Abstract

A whole new world

Hi all

Kent Gregory's picture

Co-60 in an Indian scrap yard

It appears that the lessons learned from Brazil and Mexico have been forgotten. India is currently dealing with a Co-60 source in a scrap metal yard, with a number of people suffering deterministic effects.

link to the Times of India

We can expect more of those radioactive door handles to start appearing again very soon.
