Arising from this, the concept of "nuclear spent fuel" and the procedure for its safe transport, which had been unregulated in national legislation, shall be provided in the Act. National regulation of standards laid down for spent fuel transport means a higher level of security and safety as it provides the obligation of notification of organising transport and the basis for consent or refusal of transport. Some of the legislative provisions taken over from the Directive shall be provided in the Act that amends the Radiation Act and some by amending the Government of the Republic Regulation "The specifications for processing the documents for the import, export or transit of radioactive waste based on the countries of origin and destination of the waste" of 8 July 2004.
