A Comparative Study on Safety Transport Statute of Radioactive Materials

A special feature of the transport of radioactive material is the mobility of the risk source; that is, the mobility of the material being transported. Unlike the situation in a stationary facility, the environment of the material being transported is subject to change. Mobility creates safety problems. A basic feature of all systems of rules to control the transport of dangerous goods is grouping on the basis of the hazards presented by the goods during transport. In 1959 the necessity of co-ordination with the IAEA in the drafting of recommendations relating to the transport of radioactive material. This led to continuing co-operation between the Committee of Experts and the IAEA. In the meantime, the Committee of Experts had adopted a first version of subsequent legislation, Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. And, as a result, the IAEA Transport Regulations are now both a standalone document and part of the Model Regulations. Korean legislators have to decide how they will incorporate the regulations described above into national law. In most cases, therefore, the regulations need to be translated in order to be implemented at the national level. For that reason, legislators very often create an interlink between the IAEA Transport Regulations and the relevant requirements of the national nuclear law.
