10. Major requirements for transport safety (TS-R-1) and security (INFCIRC/225/Rev.4) Regulatory Framework for the Safe and Secure Transport of Nuclear Material in Japan

11. Major requirements for transport safety (TS-R-1) and security (INFCIRC/225/Rev.5) Regulatory Framework for the Safe and Secure Transport of Nuclear Material in Japan

12. Issues in cooperation of safety regulation and security recommendation (INFCIRC/225/Rev.5) • Enhancement of PP action and response preparedness plans • The enhancement of PP action and response preparedness plans by the operators and competent authorities are important for future reinforcement of security regulation. • 2. Harmonizing contingency and emergency plans • To be able to execute both plans at the same time will require careful coordination of each plan’s procedures. • 3. Transparency and confidentiality of information • The transparency of Safety information facilitate the public acceptance. However, specific Security information may help malicious act. The appropriate handling of information relating transport operation, package and transport method are needed. Regulatory Framework for the Safe and Secure Transport of Nuclear Material in Japan
