Technical Guidance on the Design and Licensing of Radioactive Materials Transport Packages

The design and approval of radioactive materials transport packaging plays a central role in ensuring the safe transport of radioactive materials. The most hazardous radioactive materials must be transported in a Competent Authority approved package design. This requires the applicant to provide documentary evidence of the compliance of the design with the applicable regulatory requirements, often submitted in the form of a Package Design Safety Report (PDSR). This document provides industry good practice guidance to aid in the design of packages types requiring Competent Authority approval.
