  1. ISCDOS 7th MeetingVienna, 13-15 Feb, 2012 Denials Database Update Nancy Capadona

  2. DOS Database – Synopsis of reports Sources • Denials and delays reported relating to the carriage of radioactive materials by sea, July 2011, Frank Wall. • Review of the IAEA/IMO/ICAO Database Radioactive Material shipment denials in the Air Mode, April 2011, Capt. Andrew Tisdall.

  3. Maritime Report Total of reports: 182 • UN 2916 117 (64%) Type B(U), nf • UN 2912 45 (25%) Type LSA-1, nf • UN 2915 11 (6%) Type A, nsf, nf • UN 2908 5 (3%) Excepted, empty • Others 4(2%) Denials 168 Delays 14

  4. Maritime Report – Reasons for D&D

  5. Maritime Report – Date of reports

  6. Maritime Report - Conclusions Recommendation 1 (Paragraph 8.2) That at a senior level the Secretariats of the IAEA and IMO should approach senior managers of a number of the major container companies/groups to invite them to discuss the issues involved with denials and delays to encourage their involvement in seeking solutions to the identified problems. Initially these approaches could, perhaps, focus on the carriage of radioactive materials used in medicine.

  7. Maritime Report - Conclusions Recommendation 2 (Paragraph 8.2) That consideration should be given to expanding the membership of the International Steering Committee to specifically include representatives of the international shipping and port industries.

  8. Maritime Report - Conclusions Recommendation 3 (Paragraph 8.3) Those submitting reports to the Database should do so as close to the actual incident and reports should not be “grouped” as in the past. Advice and training should be provided on completing reports to facilitate any subsequent investigation. A procedure should be established to access the completeness of reports before they are entered on the Database, including referring reports back for revision.

  9. Air Report Total of reports: 51 • UN 2915 41 (80%) Type A, nsf, nf • UN 2916 4 (8%) Type B(U), nf • UN 3332 2 (4%) Type A, sf, nf • UN 3333 2 (4%) Type A, sf, f • UN 2910 2 (4%) Excepted, lq Denials 4 (8%) Delays 47 (92%)

  10. Air Report – Reasons for D&D

  11. Air Report – Conclusions • Multilingual explanatory leaflets would help combat denials at a local level. • The Agency’s efforts to train the trainers must continue as one of its highest priority tasks. • Approach airlines with variations and ask them to allow shipment of RAM. • More data should be urgently sought.

  12. Information received after analysis • 31 reports received from REVISS, included in DB analysis. • 1 air transport delay reported in 2012. • Information from air transport not reported to DB, showing more than 400 delays from one consignor.

  13. Next steps • A new Notification System must be promoted to encourage the reporting of cases of denials and delays of shipment, in order to have more accurate information related to the numbers of D&D occurring in the world. • This new system should avoid requiring specific information which commits companies.

  14. Thank you!
