[en] Safety in transport of radioactive material is primarily ensured using the appropriate type of package in compliance with the requirements specified in the IAEA Transport Regulations which are generally consistent with the regulations for all modes of transport. For each design of package for the transport of radioactive material, it is necessary to demonstrate compliance with national and international regulations as applicable. It is recommended to combine all information necessary to demonstrate compliance in a package design safety report. This paper present the European Technical Guide applicable to all types of packages which propose a structure and a minimum content for the safety report to assist the applicant in order to demonstrate the compliance of packages with the regulations. The paper gives an overview of elements involved in the achievement of the safety report of radioactive transport packages in order to transfer the knowledge to the young generation. (authors)

[en] Sealed radioactive sources are commonly used in a wide range of applications, such as: medical, industrial, agricultural and scientific research. The radioactive material is contained within the sealed source and the device allows the radiation to be used in a controlled way. Accidents can result if the control over a small fraction of those sources is lost. Sealed nuclear sources fall under the category of special form radioactive material, therefore they must meet safety requirements during transport according to regulations. Testing sealed radioactive sources is an important step in the conformity assessment process in order to obtain the design approval. In ICN Pitesti, the Reliability and Testing Laboratory is notified by CNCAN to perform tests on sealed radioactive sources. This paper wants to present aspects of the verifying tests on sealed capsules for Iridium-192 sources in order to demonstrate the compliance with the regulatory requirements and the program of quality assurance of the tests performed.
