Special training is required to transport radioactive materials on public roads.

Companies that pack, ship, load, or transport radioactive materials are required by law to have a Class 7 (radioactive materials) safety officer.

A decay storage facility is a specialized facility designed for the safe storage of low-level radioactive waste, whose radioactivity decays to a safe level within a short period of time (days to months) through natural decay. Once the radioactivity has decayed, the materials can usually be disposed of as regular trash.
