Many countries, such as India have regulations in place, which require shipments of scrap metal destined to the country to be screened for radioactive materials prior to leaving the port of origin.
Transport requirements for radioactive materials are very stringent and a great deal of time, effort and understanding is required prior to shipping radioactive materials.
Employees should be issued with a personal radiation dosimeter if working in an area where there is a risk of exposure, or where exposure to ionising radiation is part of their daily role.
