The IMDG Code provides in Chapter 2.7 general information and in Chapter 4.1.9 requirements for packagings of radioactive cargoes. The safe transportation is regulated by the
IAEA
(International Atomic Energy Agency) and demands a
Radiation Protection Programme
(RPP) besides the transport documentation and export- transit- and import licences. The RPP describes each single transport seperately to determine which maximum dose per year affects the employee. Based on maximum permissible values it determines if no additional requirements are neccessary, a dose monitoring is to be established or even dditional protective measures are to be established.
