Abstract

AbstractIn Nuclear Medicine and Research application, transporting radioactive material from manufacturer to users’ premises is essential. The sources generally used are short half-life, and the activity used ranges from a few kBq to GBq. As the transport of radioactive material is associated with hazard, adequate safety measures must be followed during its transportation. Therefore, the transport of radioactive material in India is regulated by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) as per the regulations prescribed in AERB Safety Code AERB/NRF-TS/SC-1(Rev-1), 2016. The requirements prescribed in the code are based on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regulations for the ‘Safe Transport of Radioactive Material’ SSR-6, 2012, which is superseded by SSR-6 (Rev. 1), 2018.
