The Transport Facilitation Working Group (TFWG) is a standing group of experts whose role is to propose strategies and activities necessary to facilitate the safe and secure global transport of radioactive materials, and to contribute to their implementation. It submits regular reports to the Inter-Agency Group (IAG), composed of representatives of the IAEA, ICAO, and IMO Secretariats as well as UNECE. The TFWG succeeds the International Steering Committee on Denials of Shipment of Radioactive Materials (ISC-DOS), and maintains some of its activities.
