Regulation 25 Carriers and temporary storage agents

Any person or undertaking engaged, in the United Kingdom, in transporting, or temporarily storing during transport, qualifying nuclear material must accept or hand over such material only against a duly signed and dated receipt.

The receipt referred to in paragraph (1) must state the names of the parties handing over and receiving the qualifying nuclear material and indicate the quantities carried as well as the category, form and composition of the material.

If so required for reasons of physical protection, the description of the qualifying nuclear material transferred may be replaced by a suitable identification of the consignment which is traceable to the operator.

The persons referred to in paragraph (1) and the relevant operators must retain records of the transaction and a copy of any receipt for a period of at least five years beginning with the day on which the record is made or the receipt is received.
