Guidance on the Import and Export of Radioactive Sources

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
A
bout the Guidance

The Guidance on the Import and Export of Radioactive Sources was first published by the IAEA in March 2005. Many countries have written to the Director General expressing their intent to act in accordance with the Guidance. In accordance with paragraph 20 of the Guidance, the text was revised in 2011. The revised Guidance was published in May 2012. In accordance with paragraphs 4 and 19 of the Guidance, a List of State Points of Contact​ is maintained by the Secretariat. The purpose of this list is primarily for facilitating the import and export of radioactive sources in accordance with the Code and the Guidance.


Forms to facilitate information exchange

A group of technical and legal experts prepared the text of the model forms to facilitate the exchange of information in relation to the import and export of Category 1 and 2 sources, pursuant to the Guidance on the Import and Export of Radioactive Sources.

These forms are available in six languages and are provided for information only. The IAEA cannot accept any responsibility for their subsequent use or modification.
