Trusted experts

NTS serves as the UK’s National Focal Point for Denials and Delays in the transport of radioactive material, a role designated by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. As the centre of transport expertise within the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), NTS acts as a key liaison between UK government departments—including the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Department of Health and Social Care—and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Our responsibilities include monitoring the UK’s transport environment, identifying and validating reported cases of denials and delays, maintaining a national log, and notifying the IAEA where appropriate. We also coordinate with stakeholders across the UK to support the resolution of transport issues and represent the UK at the IAEA’s Working Group on Denials and Delays. Through this work, NTS helps to ensure the continued safe, secure, and efficient movement of radioactive materials.
