Abstract
The IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, Safety Series No.6, were first published in 1961. The regulations have been subject to comprehensive revisions in 1964, 1967, 1973, and the latest in 1985. 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 January 1, 1991. To determine the extent to which that recommendation was fulfilled , a questionnaire on the implementation of the IAEA Transport Regulations was sent to all Member States in July 1992. The questionnaire invited Member States to describe the current status of the implementation of the IAEA Transport Regulations in their Member State.
