Abstract
An overview is provided of the main activities related to the safe transport of radioactive material (RAM) in Argentina over the past 60 years. The review will provide evidence of the implementation of national Argentine regulatory standards in line with safety requirements and related documents published by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the compliance with all the applicable regulatory requirements. Argentinean experience in the design of packages and special form RAM is described in detail, as well as the implementation of a quality management system in the transport sector of the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (ARN). Projects currently being carried out related to the development of new multipurpose package designs, and the improvement by the ARN of the guide to prepare the Safety Report, to facilitate the work of designers and National Authority, are described. Another important activity is the training in safety during the transport of RAM conducted by ARN since ∼40 years ago and ARN’s participation in the international field. Finally, future regulatory tasks intended to improve safety in transport are identified.
