Abstract
In its seventh meeting in 1989 the Standing Advisory Group on the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (SAGSTRAM) recommended that all Member States adopt the 1985 Edition of the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, Safety Series No 6, by I January 1991. In order to determine the extent to which that recommendation was fulfilled, a questionnaire on the implementation of Radioactive Material Transport Regulations was developed by the IAEA and sent to all Member States. The main results are that 59 of the 64 responding Member States have regulations for both domestic and international shipments of radioactive material, and that all regulations are based primarily on Safety Series No 6. For domestic and international shipments of radioactive material, 51 (86%) and 54 (92%) of the Member States with regulations, respectively, use the 1985 Edition of Safety Series No 6 (original, as supplemented or amended) as the primary basis for national regulations. These results show that Safety Series No 6 is widely used by the Member States as the basis of their national regulations and the 1985 Edition has been quickly implemented into their regulations.
