Abstract
The IAEA transport safety regulations (SSR-6) are adopted globally for the transport of radioactive material. The needs of Member States to develop their transport safety infrastructures varies from little to a wide range that is ideally focused on the radioactive material being transported in their country. In relation to the SSR-6 transport regulations, the IAEA eLearning platform, which was launched in 2019, provides unlimited access to information to an unlimited number of 'students' that is focused on the needs of a Member State, for example providing information that may or may not include fissile material. The provides modules open to everyone and an additional set of modules for transport safety regulators. Development will continue through 2019 to provide the content in other languages with Spanish and French following the initial launch in English. The paper will describe the rationale of the target audiences, structure, content and approach adopted.
