Radioactive articles mentioned in these Regulations refer to articles containing radionuclides, whose activity and specific activity are higher than the exemption value stipulated by the state. Article 3 According to the characteristics of radioactive substances and their potential harm to human health and the environment, radioactive substances are divided into Category I, Category II and Category III.
A class of radioactive substances refers to radioactive substances that have a significant radiation impact on human health and the environment after being released into the environment, such as class I radioactive sources, high-level radioactive wastes and spent fuel.
Class II radioactive substances refer to radioactive substances that have general radiation effects on human health and the environment after being released into the environment, such as class II and III radioactive sources and medium-level radioactive wastes.
The third category of radioactive materials refers to radioactive materials with the fourth and fifth categories of radioactive sources, low-level radioactive wastes, radioactive drugs, etc. After being released into the environment, it has little radiation impact on human health and the environment.
The specific classification and catalogue of radioactive materials shall be formulated by the nuclear safety supervision department of the State Council in conjunction with the competent departments of public security, health, customs, transportation, railways, civil aviation and nuclear industry of the State Council. Article 4 The nuclear safety supervision department of the State Council shall supervise and manage the nuclear and radiation safety in the transportation of radioactive materials.
The State Council public security, transportation, railways, civil aviation and other relevant competent departments shall be responsible for the supervision and management of the transportation safety of radioactive materials in accordance with the provisions of these regulations and their respective responsibilities.
The competent department of environmental protection of the local people's governments at or above the county level and the relevant competent departments of public security and transportation shall be responsible for the supervision and management of the transportation safety of radioactive materials within their respective administrative areas in accordance with the provisions of these regulations and their respective responsibilities. Article 5 When transporting radioactive materials, special containers for transporting radioactive materials (hereinafter referred to as transport containers) shall be used.
The transport of radioactive materials and the design and manufacture of radioactive materials transport containers shall conform to the national safety standards for the transport of radioactive materials.
The national standards for the transport safety of radioactive materials are formulated by the nuclear safety supervision department of the State Council, and jointly issued by the nuclear safety supervision department of the State Council and the standardization department of the State Council. The State Council's nuclear safety supervision department shall solicit the opinions of the State Council's public security, health, transportation, railway, civil aviation, nuclear industry and other competent departments when formulating national transport safety standards for radioactive materials. Article 6 Units that design and manufacture radioactive transport containers shall establish and improve the responsibility system, strengthen quality management and be responsible for the design and manufacture of radioactive transport containers.
The shipper of radioactive materials (hereinafter referred to as the shipper) shall formulate an emergency plan for nuclear and radiation accidents, take effective radiation protection and safety measures in the transportation of radioactive materials, and be responsible for nuclear and radiation safety in the transportation of radioactive materials. Article 7 Any unit or individual who violates the provisions of these Regulations has the right to report to the nuclear safety supervision department of the State Council or other departments that perform the duties of supervision and management of radioactive materials transportation safety according to law.
The department that receives the report shall investigate and deal with it according to law, and keep the informer confidential. Chapter II Design of Radioactive Material Transport Containers Article 8 The design unit of radioactive material transport containers shall establish, improve and effectively implement the quality assurance system, design according to the national standards for the transport safety of radioactive materials, and evaluate the safety performance of the designed radioactive material transport containers by means of test verification or analysis and demonstration. Article 9 The design unit of radioactive transport containers shall establish and improve the filing system, and truthfully record the design and safety performance evaluation process of radioactive transport containers according to the requirements of the quality assurance system.
When designing a radioactive material transport container, a design safety evaluation report shall be prepared; When designing the transport containers of radioactive substances of Category II, a design safety evaluation report form must be prepared. Article 10 The design of Class I radioactive material transport containers shall be submitted to the nuclear safety supervision department of the State Council for examination and approval before being used for manufacturing for the first time.
To apply for approval of the design of a class of radioactive materials transport containers, the design unit shall submit a written application to the nuclear safety supervision department of the State Council, and submit the following materials:
(a) the overall design scheme and its design description;
(2) Design safety evaluation report;
(3) Quality assurance plan. Article 11 the State Council's nuclear safety supervision department shall complete the examination within 45 working days from the date of accepting the application, and issue the approval letter for the design of a radioactive transport container if it meets the national safety standards for radioactive transport, and publish the approval number; If it does not meet the national safety standards for the transport of radioactive materials, it shall notify the applicant in writing and explain the reasons. Twelfth design units to modify the approved safety content in the design of a class of radioactive materials transport containers shall re-apply for the design approval of a class of radioactive materials transport containers to the nuclear safety supervision department of the State Council in accordance with the original application procedures.
