Reglamento para el transporte seguro de materiales radiactivos

This publication, Safety Standards Series No. 1, is the revised version of Safety Series No. 6, Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, superseding all previous editions. It also includes the revision of Safety Series No. 80, Schedules of Requirements for the Transport of Specified Types of Radioactive Material Consignments (As Amended in 1990). These Regulations, first published in 1961, establish standards of safety with the purpose of providing an acceptable level of control of the radiation, criticality and thermal hazards to persons, property and the environment that are associated with the transport of radioactive material. Through the worldwide adoption of these regulations for all modes of transport, a very high standard of safety in the transport of radioactive material has been achieved.

Changes introduced into Safety Standards Series No. TS-R-1(ST-1, Revised) will be reflected in an errata sheet included in this edition.
