Status of the regulation for safe and secure transport of radioactive materials in Madagascar By Dr. J.L.R. Zafimanjato Head of the Department of Dosimetry and Radiation Protection Institut National des Sciences et Techniques Nucléaires (Madagascar-INSTN), P.O. Box: 4279 Antananarivo, Madagascar 1

RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS USED IN MADAGASCAR Medical: - Medical diagnosis - Treatment of cancer Industrial applications: Quality control FORMS OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS TRANSPORTED - Some forms of mineral sands - Uranium - Radioisotopes used in medicine and industry 2

Legal framework of transport of radioactive materials The decree n° 2735/94 dealing the transport of radioactive materials was promulgated in 1994 governs all activities related to the transport of radioactive materials. The law on protection against harmful effects of ionizing radiation and radioactive waste management in Madagascar was promulgated on January The law on Physical Protection of Nuclear Materials, Nuclear Facilities and other Radiation Sources was promulgated in 2003 and amended in

Transport Safety The transport safety of radioactive materials is based in the package. The standards for the packages used in the country for transport of radioactive materials are the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials, TS-R-1. The Regulations require transport organizations involved to implement Radiation Protection Programme to control radiation dose exposure to workers and the public. An assessment has been carried out by Madagascar-INSTN of the likely doses to various types of worker and members of the public involved in all materials from ores containing radioactive materials transport operations. The IAEA guidance on Radiation Protection Programmes for Transport of Radioactive Material is used to advise and assist transport operators. 4

Transport Security The main concern is malicious acts and terrorist action. Requirements are in place to ensure the physical protection. The properties of the radioactive materials, the robust design of the package to ensure safety combine to reduce the risks due to radiation exposure following malicious acts. International standards and requirements are used to ensure security in the transport of all radioactive materials. In some cases, they are being supplemented by the national requirements. 5

Authorization to transport radioactive materials According the regulations, transport of radioactive materials or sources should be subjected to the requirements of the safe transport, which is in complete harmony with the IAEA’s Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials, TS-R-1. Appropriate packaging, adequate documentation and prior notifications by the manufacturer and consignors are required to assure that the carrier takes necessary precautions and to secure the arrival of the radioactive materials. 6

Import and export of radioactive sources Radioactive materials or sources will not be shipped to any airport or seaport prior the approval from the seaport or airport Authority, which is based on the issuance of the radioactive materials or sources authorization by the Regulatory Authority. Radioactive materials or sources imported are also subjected to the custom’s inspection. In Madagascar, there is a complete coordination between the Custom Department and the Regulatory Authority. Meanwhile, the implementation of the IAEA’s Code and Guidance has provided an expanded scope for ensuring the safety and security of radioactive sources including their transport. Indeed, for the control on import and export of radioactive sources, the Code and the Guidance introduce important requirements for the authorization of import and export of radioactive sources 7

Denial of Shipment of radioactive materials Faced with delay and denial of shipment of radioactive materials issues, the National Focal Point has been appointed to act as the central and common point of contact with the IAEA, to serve as the interface between the government, the Regional Coordinators and the denials Secretariat to facilitating and monitoring of shipments of radioactive materials and evaluating the reasons for denials or delays. 10
