Abstract
Under conditions of strong competition at the international radioisotope market not only the quality of the products themselves but the timeliness and punctuality of a delivery time-table and shortening the delivery period as well became more acute. The latter allows reducing losses of expensive products due to radioactive decay. Distinctive features for arranging transport of radioisotope products using depleted uranium shipping packing sets both in respect of regime of flight and IAEA Regulations (1996) are discussed below.
