A brief review is given of the main provisions of the state regulation and safety assurance of RAM transport in Russia. This appears to be useful to various persons and organisations abroad, concerned with such transport in Russia. Two aspects of the system are presented -regulatory documents (normative-technical documentation) and regulatory and control activities of state organisations.(2) Basic Regulations for Safety and Physical Protection of Nuclear Material Transportation (OPBZ-83).PBTRV Regulations cover the shipment of all nonfissile radioactive materials; fissile material is covered by these Regulations only if the quantity does not exceed 15 g. The second basic document, Regulations OPBZ-83, covers fissile radioactive material transport in quantities more than 15 g, i.e. the material for which an assessment of the possibility of a self-sustained chain reaction during transport is needed.
