Radioactive and nuclear transport involves moving radioactive materials for medical, industrial, and nuclear fuel cycle purposes. ~ 20 million radioactive and nuclear transports are safely performed every year. It is a strictly regulated activity with international, national and local requirements. It is a highly complex, multidisciplinary field that integrates safety, security, and safeguard requirements. It involves technical, regulatory, logistical expertise and specialized support functions to ensure that material ranging from medical isotopes to nuclear fuel is moved securely.
With a renewed interest in nuclear energy in recent years, it is crucial to maintain the very strong safety records of our field.
To support the growth, WiN Transport aims to highlight and promote women achievements, educate and advocate for our field of expertise and contribute to bringing a new skilled workforce.
Our mission is to promote and recognize in the five continents women working in radioactive and nuclear transports by increasing visibility of women achievements in this field, sharin.
The World Nuclear Transport Institute (WNTI), founded in 1998, is a non-governmental organisation representing the collective interests of the nuclear transport industry. Reflecting WNTI’s strategic commitment to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and developing the next generation of nuclear transport professionals. As a key partner, WNTI provides the platform, visibility, and support needed to advance WiN Transport’s mission and activities.
Our vision is to become the recognized voice of women working in all specialized and support functions associated with the transport of Radioactive and Nuclear Materials by building an international inclusive and trusted community.
