IAEA – Open-Ended Meeting of Legal and Technical Experts on the Draft Code of Conduct on the Facilitation of the Safe and Secure Transport of Radioactive Material

The event is primarily intended for legal and technical experts from States involved in the safe and secure transport of radioactive material including the transit States. The international transport of radioactive material also involves various national policy making organs and authorities responsible for import and export authorizations, emergency planning, physical protection and nuclear security, and modes of transport therefore policy experts may also participate. Participants should have experience in the authorization of shipments and routes, package design approvals, regulating carriers including establishment, implementation, and supervision of provisions for safe and secure transport of radioactive material. States are invited to designate one or more participants for this event.

The experts from interested International and Non-Governmental Organisations, which may have a role to facilitate the safe and secure transport of radioactive materials are also encouraged to participate. These may include experts in health provision or occupational health, international trade and development, logistics and transport.
