Custom service and State Environmental Inspectorate
According to this Provision, the SNRIU, besides its main tasks, is assigned to be a competent authority in the field of safe transport of radioactive materials.
Strengthening of institutional and human capabilities of the regulatory authority will also contribute to the safety and security of radioactive materials at all stages of their transport .
During inspections attention inspectors is focused on control of:

Certificates
Dangerous goods declaration, Approval certificates for packages / materials
Inspections
What inspections are required if any? Who inspects what?
