Carriers and consignors of radioactive substances must have a radiation protection plan, emergency plans and provide training to all persons involved with any aspect of transport operations.
The EPA has completed a review of arrangements for the transport of uranium oxide concentrate (UOC) in South Australia. Key findings are outlined in the Review of the transport of uranium oxide concentrate (UOC) in South Australia.
