This Group acts as a forum for communicating industry developments, exchanging leading practice, and for identifying and resolving issues relating to the shipment of nuclear material. The primary focus of the Group is to address commercial topics relating to the transport of front-end nuclear materials.
The Group is represented on the Transport Facilitation Working Group (TFWG), a multi-stakeholder initiative to preserve and open up new routes for the transport of radioactive material, and on the IAEA’s Transport Safety Standards Committee (TRANSSC). It also enjoys reciprocal relations with the World Nuclear Transport Institute.
Areas of interest:
- Dialogue with the insurance community to improve options for nuclear transport
- Development of communication materials explaining why and how we transport radioactive material
- Gathering information from members regarding experience with carriers and ports
- Discussing policies with intergovernmental agencies that could support more direct and diverse shipping options
