It is important problem to recycle the irradiated beryllium from the points of effective use of resources, reduction of radioactive waste and nuclear nonproliferation. The recycling of the irradiated beryllium has been considered as the part of the development of Irradiation technology for JMTR refurbishment and restart. The ISTC regular project (K-1566) on recycling technology of irradiated beryllium has been carried out in the Institute of Atomic Energy (IAE), National Nuclear Center of Republic of Kazakhstan (NNC-RK). This paper is described on the transport procedure and transport results of the irradiated beryllium from Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) to IAE, NNC-RK under the ISTC project.
