Transport of radioactive material Special arrangement approval checklist An applicant seeking an approval certificate from ARPANSA under special arrangement must ensure that the information, as described in paragraph 836 of RPS 2, is included as part of the application. A summary of the information which must be included is described below. Tick if Information required included 1. Description of transportation dates and locations of from where and to where the package and its contents will be transported 2. Details of the mode(s) of transport which will be used e.g. road, rail, air, inland water way or sea 3. Details of the type of conveyance and route information which will be used during transport e.g. freight container etc 4. Details of applicable national and international regulations under which approved is sought e.g. IAEA 5. Details of other certificates for alternative radioactive contents, other competent authority validation, or additional technical data or information which can substantiate your request for approval 6. Description of the packaging by a reference to the drawings or a specification of the design. In addition, a reproducible illustration (ideally not larger than 21 cm by 30 cm), showing the make-up of the package, should also be provided, accompanied by a brief description of the packaging, including materials of manufacture, gross mass, general outside dimensions and appearance 7. Description of the specific authorised radioactive contents contained within the packaging including any restrictions on the radioactive contents which might not be obvious from the nature of the packaging. This shall include the physical and chemical forms, the activities involved (including those of the various isotopes), mass in grams (for fissile material), and whether special form radioactive material, low dispersible radioactive material or fissile material excepted under para. 417(f), if applicable 8. For package designs containing fissile material requiring multilateral approval in accordance with para. 814: i a detailed description of the authorized radioactive contents; ii the value of the criticality safety index; iii reference to the documentation that demonstrates the criticality safety of the contents; iv any special features on the basis of which the absence of water from certain void spaces has been assumed in the criticality assessment;
