Abstract

Transportation of spent nuclear fuel requires radical and scientific management due to radiation and high temperature. Looking at international documents, in particular the Joint Conventional Fuel Safety Management Convention, which is designed to protect individuals and the environment from damage caused by it. The present paper seeks to clarify and assess the obligations of governments to apply the legal safety requirements for the remaining nuclear fuel and thereby respond to one of the requirements for the development of nuclear energy use. Finally, there are weaknesses in the safe transportation sector, such as the lack of comprehensiveness and universality of these regulations and the complementarity of government responsibilitiesTransportation of spent nuclear fuel requires radical and scientific management due to radiation and high temperature.
