According to the “Act on the Safe Use of Nuclear Energy” (ASUNE/2002) the shipments of radioactive waste (RAW) and spent fuel (SF) are carried out after a permit for import/export and a permit for transport, granted by the NRA Chairman for each particular case.

The applicant shall submit all necessary documents in accordance with the “Regulation on the Procedure for Issuing Licences and Permits for Safe Use of Nuclear Energy”, 2004. These documents are related to the “Regulation on the Conditions and Procedure of Transport of Radioactive Material”, 2005. This Regulation is based on the general conditions for safe transport, established in the IAEA Safety Requirements No. TS-R-1 and the Model Regulations ADR, RID, IMDG Code, ICAO-TI and AND.

Additionally, according to the ASUNE:

• it shall be prohibited to import RAW in the Bulgarian territory, except upon re-import of used sealed sources manufactured in Bulgaria or where the radioactive waste is generated as a result of the processing of materials performed as a service in favour of Bulgaria or of a Bulgarian legal entity;
• the applicant shall pay a fee, fixed in the “Tariff for the fees collected by the NRA”, 2003.

In the Czech Republic, there are two additional requirements for shipment of radioactive materials.

1. According to Article 23 of the Act No. 18/1997 Coll., on Peaceful Utilization of Nuclear Energy and Ionizing Radiation (the Atomic Act) and on Amendments and Additions to Related Acts, as amended (see http://www.sujb.cz/docs/SUJB_CR_Atomic_Act.pdf), a design of the Type B(U) package used for radioactive material transport has to be approved by one of the European Union countries.
2. According to Article 9 Paragraph 1 Letter m) of the Act No. 18/1997 Coll., a shipment of package(s) containing radioactive content which activity exceeds the value of 3.103 A1 or 3.103 A2, as applicable or 1000 TBq, whichever is lower (high activity package(s), or a shipment of package(s) containing fissile material has to be approved. Approval application has to contain information stated in item M. “Documentation for the issue of a license for shipment of fissile materials and radioactive substances” of the Appendix to Act No. 18/1997 Coll.

According to Act No. 634/2004 Coll., on Fees of Proceedings, as Amended, the applicant has to pay a fee of 500 Kc for the shipment approval of the high activity package(s) and 2000 Kc for the shipment approval of the package(s) containing fissile material. This fee shall be paid to Czech National Bank not latter than applicant submits the application.
