Radioactive materials transport

The Radioactive Materials Transport Programme, headed by Deputy Chief Inspector George Sallit, is responsible for regulating safety during the transport of radioactive material by road and rail in Great Britain, and advises on its transport by air and sea within UK territorial waters.

Formerly part of the Department for Transport, the RMT programme regulates the transport of radioactive material by road and rail in Great Britain.

Regulations governing the transport of radioactive material are based on standards developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency and regulated in Great Britain by ONR.

If you have a specific enquiry on the requirements for transporting radioactive material or would like to be included on a list of transport stakeholders, please email class7@hse.gsi.gov.uk
