Abstract

The objectives of this article are to briefly present an updated review of the regulatory framework and activities related to the transport of radioactive material in Brazil, to provide an analysis of the appraisal service performed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 2002 and to identify questions that require action plans from the Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN), including those actions which will involve neighbouring countries regulatory authorities.
