• A Radiation Protection Program must address measures to keep radiation exposure to a minimum, and offer emergency response procedures in regard to shipping radioactive material.

Radioactive material transportation must be done under a Radiation Protection Program, which must adequately address radiation protection measures. The program must address measures that will be taken to keep doses to persons below dose limits and to keep exposures as low as possible. These measures must be related to the significance and chances of radiation exposures. Finally, the program must address applicable emergency response procedures.

If the competent authority requests to see the program documents, then such documents must be available to the competent authority.

More details on the Radiation Protection Program can be found in the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Section 10.0.2.

A Management System, acceptable to the competent authority, must be in place to ensure compliance with the regulations is maintained. More details can be found in the IATA DGR Section 10.0.3.
