The purpose of this regulation is to determine the requirements that must be met to ensure safety during the transport of radioactive materials and to protect people, property and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.

IAEA SSR-6 Regulations for the Safe Handling of Radioactive Material Standard Test Method

This protection is achieved by requiring:

  • containment of radioactive contents;
  • Control of external dose rate;
  • Avoiding criticality;
  • Preventing damage caused by heat.

These requirements are first met by applying a tiered approach to content limits for packages and vehicles and to performance standards applied to package designs, based on the hazard of the radioactive contents.

Second, they are met by imposing conditions on the design and operation of packages and the maintenance of packages, including taking into account the nature of the radioactive contents.

Third, they are satisfied by requesting administrative controls, including approval by competent authorities where appropriate. Finally, greater protection is achieved by making arrangements for the planning and preparation of emergency response to protect people, property and the environment.
