Abstract

ANDRA has set procedures with the waste generators and with the carriers in order to be sure that all the packages are in accordance with the technical prescriptions and with the specifications elborated by the Agency. In addition, these procedures guarantee that the safety rules for the storage, and the regulation applicable to the transport of dangerous goods, will be respected. The first procedure concerns the package acceptance and is composed of four steps: (1) acceptance of the individual package, (2) validation of the shipment, (3) confirmation of the shipment, and (4) control at the destination. The second procedure is a qualification procedure for the carriers, and concerns the applicable regulations, and ANDRA's own requirements concerning: (1) driving personnel, (2) vehicles, (3) transport conditions and (4) instructions in case of a road accident. Moreover, quality assurance programmes have been established by the carriers for transport operation. To assist them, ANDRA has drafted a quality assurance Standard.
