Abstract:
Since its creation in January 2011, the <em>Journal of Xenobiotics</em> (published by PAGEPress, Italy) is devoted to the publication of novel research articles in the fields of the occurrence and biochemical effects of xenobiotics on all living organisms. Although xenobiotics are defined firstly as compounds that are <em>foreign to life</em>, compounds of natural origins occuring at concentrations that are not usually found, could also be considered as <em>foreigners</em> since their enhanced occurrence may affect non-target organisms. In this sense, products derived from natural products are well known to have either a beneficial (natural products used as food additives and many pharmaceuticals) or detrimental (cyanotoxins) impact on the health of an organism. The journal recognizes that these compounds could be either harmful or beneficial to organisms and the interplay between these two aspects is of particular interest...

Abstract:
We characterize the population dynamics of pests and beneficial organisms in strawberries to assess the impact of two meteorological factors (temperature and precipitation) and define the most appropriate method for monitoring insects in strawberries crop. Population dynamics were monitored weekly using the plant beat method and Möericke traps in Albion strawberries. Measurements were taken in organic strawberry farms over two growing seasons, from March 26, 2010 to August 23, 2010 (first season - 2009/2010) and from October 4, 2010 to March 21, 2011 (second season - 2009/2010) in the municipality of Pinhais, Paraná state, southern Brazil (25º25'S; 49º08'W). We collected a total of 7,971 pests and 1,987 beneficial organisms. The most abundant pests were Chaetosiphon fragaefolii (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the first growing season and Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae) in the second. Beneficial organisms from Acari, Araneae, and Hymenoptera parasitoids predominated in both seasons. Temperature and precipitation were the the primary climatic factor associated with the population variation of aphids. Populations of C. fragaefolii grew when the temperature was between 16°C and 25ºC. We found that plant beat was the fastest and most suitable method for strawberry pests monitoring since it captured insects that were effectively colonizing the plants. This study contributes to a better understanding of the entomofauna associated with cultivation of organic strawberry.

Abstract:
The soil is a habitat for a vast, complex and interactive community of soil organisms whose activities largely determine the chemical and physical properties of the soil. In a fertile soil the soil biota may have a biomass exceeding 20 t ha-1, with life forms ranging from microscopic bacteria to the largest of earthworms which may be 1 m in length. Only a small fraction, probably <20%, of the soil microflora and microfauna (including bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, nematodes, collembola, acari) have been described. The role of soil organisms in the development and maintenance of soil structure, in nutrient cycling and in their various interactions (including associative, harmful and beneficial) with plant roots is described. Trophic interactions between soil organism groups in developed agroecosystems are considered in relation to nutrient cycling and the impact such interactions have on populations of saprophytic, parasitic and symbiotic microorganisms. Prospects for the management of the soil biota to promote sustainable productivity are illustrated by describing the effects of tillage on the composition of soil organism communities. Management technologies that conserve the biodiversity of communities may provide the greatest benefits for the long term sustainability of the soil resource.

Abstract:
Marine organisms are a source of natural products and produce compounds with a molecular structure that is unique and useful. Thousands of new compounds have biological activitity for anticancer, antiviral, and antimicrobial. This compounds isolated from various marine organism, including from marine-derived fungi. Investigation of chemical compounds from marine-derived fungi isolated from sponge has increased steadily, indicating the important role of marine-derived fungi in the discovery of drug compounds. The sponge has produced various kinds of fungi, which have reported to provide a variety of pharmacologically active metabolites and structurally diverse. Study literature showed that many fungal genera isolated from the marine sponge dominated the genus Acremonium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Phoma, and Fusarium. The high proportion of genera and new compounds showed that the fungi isolated from the sponge could develop.

Abstract:
La vigne est une culture fruitière largement cultivée, qui abrite naturellement un microbiome complexe, i.e. colonisée par des microorganismes neutres, phytopathogènes ou bénéfiques. Parmi les phytopathogènes, ceux associés aux maladies du bois (MDB) induisent des maladies très destructrices, et les traitements disponibles pour les contrôler ont actuellement une efficacité partielle. Les microorganismes bénéfiques (BCA) peuvent jouer un rôle spécifique dans la protection des plantes contre les phytopathogènes et le défi actuel est de comprendre comment ces microorganismes interagissent avec les plantes et leur potentiel biotechnologique pour le développement de stratégies innovantes. Dans ce contexte, l'objectif de cette étude était d'abord de caractériser les communautés microbiennes associées à la vigne tout au long de son cycle végétatif et, d'autre part, de mieux comprendre les interactions entre la vigne- BCA – MDB. Pour cela, deux potentiels BCA isolés de la vigne ont été testés contre des espèces de Botryosphaeriaceae et leur potentiel de colonisation, l'induction de mécanismes de défense dans la vigne, en présence ou non de D. seriata (F98.1), ont été caractériser ainsi que l’analyse de leur génome.Les résultats ont montré que le microbiome de la vigne était très dynamique au cours de son cycle végétatif. Comme prévu, la biodiversité microbienne était plus élevée dans les sols, et les communautés variaient entre le sol et les feuilles. Une proportion de communautés microbiennes était similaire dans les sols et les feuilles, ce qui suggère l'existence d'un microbiome commun. Plusieurs isolats ont été obtenus à partir de vignes qui appartenaient principalement aux genres Bacillus, Streptomyces et Aureobasidium. Certains d'entre eux ont considérablement diminué la croissance du mycélium de plusieurs espèces de Botryosphaeriaceae, telles que Streptomyces sp. Fito_S127B et A. pullulans Fito_F278 qui ont été sélectionnés comme BCA. Ces souches ont montré qu'elles produisaient une gamme élevée d'enzymes extracellulaires importantes pour le biocontrôle et ont pu coloniser avec succès la vigne : Fito_S127B était une épiphyte du système racinaire de la vigne, tandis que Fito_F278 pouvait coloniser l’ensemble de la plante, des racines aux feuilles. L'inoculation artificielle des tiges avec D. seriata F98.1 a montré que la longueur des nécroses causées par l'agent pathogène a été significativement réduite par Fito_S127B, contrairement à Fito_F278 qui était moins efficace. De plus, ces BCAs sont capables d’activer certaines réponses de défense de la vigne, permettant une réponse plus rapide et plus forte de la plante contre le pathogène. L'analyse du génome a également montré que ces souches sont une source des composés bioactifs, importants pour le contrôle biologique.Dans l'ensemble, cette étude a apporté de nouvelles connaissances sur la structure des communautés microbiennes de la vigne et leurs interactions. De plus, elle a confirmé que la vigne est une source naturelle de microorganismes prometteurs pour une gestion biologique des MDB et qu'ils peuvent promouvoir les réponses de défense des plantes. Ainsi, ces résultats fournissent non seulement une meilleure compréhension des interactions entre la vigne et les BCAs-MDB, mais aussi une forte contribution à la future stratégie de gestion des MDB.Mots-clés : microbiome de la vigne, MDB, D. seriata, microorganismes bénéfiques, Fito_S127B, Fito_F278, colonisation de la vigne, mécanismes de défense, protection
Vitis vinifera L. is a widely cultivated fruit crop, that naturally harbours a complex microbial ecosystem or plant microbiome, such as neutral, phytopathogenic or beneficial microorganisms. Among phytopathogens, those implied in Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are responsible for the most destructive diseases worldwide, and currently no highly effective treatments are available. Beneficial microorganisms (BCAs) may play specific roles on plant protection against phytopathogens though, the present challenge is to understand how such microorganisms interact with plant and their biotechnological potential for development of innovation strategies. In this context, the aim of this study was firstly to unveil the microbial communities associated with grapevine along its growth cycle and, secondly, to better understand the grapevine – BCAs – GTDs interactions. For this, two potential BCAs isolated from grapevine were tested against Botryosphaeriaceae species and then deep characterized, namely for their colonisation potential, induction of defence mechanisms in grapevine, in the presence or not of D. seriata (F98.1) and their genome analysis. Results showed that grapevine microbiome was very dynamic along the growth cycle. As expected, the microbial biodiversity was higher in soils, and these microbial communities differed significantly from those of leaves. A proportion of microbial communities was shared within soils and leaves, suggesting the existence of a core microbiome. Several isolates were then obtained from grapevine which mostly belonged to Bacillus, Streptomyces and Aureobasidium genera. Some of them significantly decreased in vitro the mycelium growth of several Botryosphaeriaceae species, such as Streptomyces sp. Fito_S127B and A. pullulans Fito_F278 which were highly effective and thus selected as potential BCAs. These strains showed to produce a high range of extracellular enzymes with biocontrol value, and were able to successfully colonize grapevine: Fito_S127B was an epiphyte from rhizosphere, while Fito_F278 colonised grapevine from roots to leaves. The artificial inoculation of green stems with D. seriata F98.1 on cutting plants showed that the necrotic lesions length caused by the pathogen was significantly reduced by Fito_S127B, in contrast to Fito_F278 which was less effective. Furthermore, these BCAs activated some specific defence responses of grapevine, allowing a more rapid and solid response of plant against the pathogen. The genome analysis also showed that these BCAs strains are an important source of bioactive compounds of biocontrol value. Overall, this study brought new insights on the structure of microbial communities of grapevine and their interactions. Moreover, highlighted that grapevine is a natural source of microorganisms with a promising biocontrol against GTDs, and that they can promote plant defense responses. Thus, these findings provide not only a better understand of the grapevine- BCAs- GTDs interactions but also a strong contribution to future GTDs management strategy.

Abstract:
Most tomato cultivars used for commercial food production are imported into South Africa. Optimal growing conditions for these specific cultivars need to be determined, as wrong cultivar choices can lead to great financial losses. Lack of information on selecting well-performing cultivars may lead to lower yield or unacceptable fruit quality. Information on the performance of tomato cultivars under South African conditions, utilizing plastic tunnels or shadenet structures under soilless cultivation is still very limited. Soilless cultivation of vegetables is becoming a preferable over in-soil cultivation due to the improved yield and quality of produce, efficient water and nutrients usage by the crop; furthermore, the grower can regulate nutrient solution, electrical conductivity and pH of the nutrient solution. To identify the optimal system for growing tomatoes hydroponically, the performance of four tomato cultivars (‘FA593’, ‘Miramar’, ‘FiveOFive’ and ‘Malory’) under different growing conditions was evaluated: directly planted in soil under 40% shadenet with drip irrigation, a closed hydroponic system under 40% shadenet, an open bag system under 40% shadenet, or an open-bag system in a temperature controlled as well as a non-temperature controlled tunnel. The study revealed that ‘Miramar’ performed better than the other cultivars in all production systems, with the exception of soil cultivation where there were no differences amongst the four cultivars. Fruit cracking was found to be directly correlated with fruit size, as the large-sized cultivars ‘Malory’ and ‘FA593’ were more susceptible than the other two cultivars. Plants grown under shadenet were prone to fruit cracking and raincheck as well as early blight. Higher yields were obtained when plants were produced in the open bag system under temperature controlled conditions and in the closed system under shadenet. Growing tomatoes in the non-temperature controlled tunnel resulted in high incidences of fruit cracking, poor yield and pre-mature fruit ripening probably due to high and fluctuating temperatures under such conditions. The average marketable yield was 88% and 59% of the total yield in the temperature controlled and non-temperature controlled tunnels, respectively. A further experiment was carried out to improve yield and quality of tunnel tomatoes using beneficial micro-organisms, i.e., arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) at different nutrient concentrations. Tomato seedlings were treated with Mycoroot™ containing four mycorrhiza species (Glomus etunicatum, Paraglomus occultum, Glomus clarum and Glomus mossea) at transplanting and subsequently transferred to either a temperature controlled or a non-temperature controlled tunnel under the recommended (100%) or reduced (75 and 50%) nutrient concentrations. Sawdust was used as a growing medium in this experiment. Application of AMF neither enhanced plant growth, yield, nor fruit mineral nutrient concentrations; although fruit Mn and Zn concentrations in the temperature controlled tunnel increased significantly following AMF application. Plants grown in the non-temperature controlled tunnel had significantly poorer plant growth, and lower yield and lower fruit mineral concentrations, compared with fruit from plants in the temperature controlled tunnel. Tomato plants in the non-temperature controlled tunnel had higher levels of micro-elements in leaf tissue, compared with those in the temperature controlled tunnel. The highest yields were obtained from plants fertigated with 75% of the recommended nutrient concentration, as compared with the 100 and 50% nutrient concentrations. When coir was subsequently used as the growing medium, Mycoroot™ applied at seeding and transplanting did not enhance mycorrhizal colonization or fruit quality. Growing tomatoes under reduced nutrient supply reduced the total soluble solids in the juice of the fruit, but improved total and marketable yield, as well as the number of marketable fruit. This effect was more substantial in the temperature controlled than in the non-temperature controlled tunnel. Fruit firmness and leaf chlorophyll concentrations were significantly higher in plants grown in the temperature controlled tunnel. Growing tomatoes in sawdust improved the leaf Mn and Ca concentration over that of tomato plants grown in coir. Mycorrhizal colonisation did not have a beneficial effect on tomato yield and quality. The study indicated that cultivar selection was important in obtaining the highest yield and quality of tomato using the closed hydroponic system under shadenet and the open bag hydroponic system in the temperature controlled tunnel. Temperature controlled tunnels with a pad–and-fan cooling system are still an effective way of cooling the tunnel environment which resulted in high yield and high quality of tomatoes with a higher fruit mineral content than that obtained under non-temperature controlled conditions where only natural ventilation is relied on. Results also demonstrated that mycorrhizal colonization in soilless condition has limited beneficial effects in allowing for better nutrient uptake and thereby for improved yield and quality of tomatoes. Further studies, including different media, nutrient composition and concentrations, need to be carried out to investigate the possible causes of AMF failure to improve yield, despite good AMF root colonization.

Abstract:
Arid and semi-arid regions, mostly found in developing countries with exponentially increasing populations, are in chronic lack of water thereby severely limiting agricultural production. Irrigation with saline water, which is available in large quantities, could be an obvious solution, but current crops are all salt sensitive. Although major efforts are underway to breed salt tolerant crops, no breakthrough results have yet been obtained. One alternative could rely on plant-interacting microbiota communities. Indeed, rhizophere and endosphere microbial communities are distinct from those of the surrounding soils, and these specific communities contribute to plant growth and health by increasing nutrient availability or plant resistance towards abiotic and biotic stresses. Here we show that plant microbe interactions induce plant tolerance to multiple stresses. From a collection of strains isolated from the desert plant Indigofera argentea, we could identify at least four different strategies to induce salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. A deep analysis of Enterobacter sp. SA187 showed that it induces Arabidopsis tolerance to salinity through activation of the ethylene signaling pathway. Interestingly, although SA187 does not produce ethylene as such, the association of SA187 with plants induces the expression of the methionine salvage pathway in SA187 resulting in the conversion of bacterially produced 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyric acid (KMBA) to ethylene. In addition, a metabolic network characterization of both SA187 and Arabidopsis in their free-living and endophytic state revealed that the sulfur metabolic pathways are strongly upregulated in both organisms. Furthermore, plant genetic experiments verified the essential role of the sulfur metabolism and ethylene signaling in plant salt stress tolerance. Our findings demonstrate how successful plant microbes of a given community can help other plants to enhance tolerance to abiotic stress, and reveal a part of the complex molecular communication process during beneficial plant-microbe interaction.

Abstract:
Within the bodies of living organisms are multitudes of sustainable design solutions that scientists have yet to discover and engineers have yet to master. Living organisms employ novel methods of harvesting energy from ambient sources, producing materials at low temperatures, and optimizing shapes to achieve energy efficiency, among many other sustainability-enhancing techniques. Through sustainable bioinspired design, engineers can apply this body of knowledge to engineered products and systems. In order to do this, a better understanding is needed of the types of sustainability solutions present in biology and readily available to engineers. One approach to this problem is to analyze existing bioinspired designs with an environmental advantage over alternatives and find trends in the types of sustainable solutions present in these designs. The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for identifying trends embodied in existing, sustainable, bioinspired designs. For this study, a broad and representative list of currently available bioinspired designs was compiled including gecko robots, lotus leaf-inspired self-cleaning surfaces, termite-inspired buildings, and kingfisher-inspired trains. Three criteria were used to determine which designs should be studied in detail: (1) verification that the design was actually bioinspired, (2) evidence that the design is or was physically embodied, either as a functional prototype or as a commercial product, and (3) literature-based demonstration of environmentally beneficial characteristics. Due to time limitations, a fourth criterion was also used: (4) literature-based demonstration of environmentally beneficial characteristics in the use phase of the design; however, the procedure presented is valid for designs offering sustainability advantages in any life cycle phase. The bioinspired designs meeting the selection criteria were analyzed in detail, along with their functionally-equivalent alternatives. The sustainability advantages of the bioinspired designs, relative to their alternatives, were identified using a list of 65 published green design guidelines. This paper presents the methodology for each of these steps, including the benefits and drawbacks. In addition, a detailed explanation is provided for each step using bioinspired examples.

Abstract:
Socially beneficial, profitable products that restore or at least leave the environment undamaged (i.e. sustainable products) remain an elusive goal. Emulation of the inherently sustainable living world through biomimetic design potentially offers one approach to creating sustainable or, at least, less unsustainable products. In this article, one learns, however, that current approaches to biomimicry do not necessarily lead to such ends. Examination of research and practice reveals a reductive mindset that limits biomimicry’s applicability within the context of sustainable engineering. To remove this limitation, this article proposes a holistic view of biomimicry that goes beyond imitation of a few features of a particular organism. A holistic view of biomimicry involves incorporation of life’s general characteristics in design and application of these characteristics across multiple spatial, temporal and organizational scales of engineering influence. The article initiates the development of holistic biomimicry as a guiding framework for designers interested in utilizing biomimicry’s potential as a sustainable design tool.

Abstract:
New Mexico ranks 2nd in natural gas production of all producing states and the Gulf Coast region. A significant amount of produced water can be generated during gas production. In 2002, around 3.8 million barrels of produced water were generated during gas production in the San Juan Basin. While obviously not drinkable at the wellhead due to the presence of salts, trace organics, and heavy metals, produced water may be treated for agricultural and industrial purposes. Reclaiming produced water for industrial processes would then free up freshwater resources for other beneficial uses. Membrane separation is a viable option for produced water desalinization; however, its large-scale implementation has been plagued by the recurring fouling of the membranes and the associated high operating costs. The paper describes the components and layout of a bench-scale reverse osmosis (RO) system used to study membrane fouling from the desalination of produced water.

Abstract:
This research springs from the idea that the human-built environment, from its origin until today, is the result of a constantly developing process. Throughout this progression, one can observe the evolution of the courtyard house as if it was an architectural organism, that has now followed more than two thousand years of unfolding of human building, from the formation of the fence (interpreted as a primitive construction) till the latest innovations of housing and urban research (latter combining elements of various cultures and ages). As society has been growing and changing – recently more rapidly than ever before in history – so has the development of courtyard house, always in tight correlation with the population’s ever changeable needs. From this analysis arises a hypothesis about the dynamics of this process (a theory already established by Muratori), of which ideas materialized in practice have been most profitable for contemporary urban design. Organized within a model called “demonstrative city”, the resulting layout is a blueprint of a simplified urban environment. This system serves as a tool capable of inserting the beneficial aspects extracted from this research into the urban environment, which further confirm the validity of these results. For this reason the “demonstrative city” can’t be considered as a project, but more so as a simulation of urban reality. Establishing this as a tool in architecture will be the first step to its test in the urban project.

Abstract:
El uso biotecnológico de recursos renovables tiene un impacto económico creciente. Esto está fuertemente impulsado por la inevitable transición de una economía basada en el petróleo hacia una economía sustentable de base biológica (bioeconomía). El componente central de este cambio de paradigma es la llamada biotecnología industrial. La aplicación de enzimas derivadas de microorganismos extremófilos (extremozimas) ofrece muchos beneficios respecto al establecimiento e implementación de procesos biocatalíticos novedosos, como en las biorrefinerías integradas. Dado que las extremozimas de microorganismos (hiper-)termofílicos exhiben actividades y estabilidades significativamente mayores a temperaturas elevadas que las enzimas respectivas de organismos mesofílicos, son particularmente adecuadas para la aplicación en procesos biotecnológicos. El estudio de ambientes asociados a volcanes brinda una oportunidad única para la bioprospección de nuevas enzimas relativamente tolerantes a condiciones de estrés multifactorial (por ejemplo, temperatura, pH, condiciones de minerales enriquecidos como azufre, hierro, silicio, entre otros). La actividad volcánica ha sido decisiva para la formación de Costa Rica (Alvarado Induni G., 2011). Como parte del Anillo de Fuego del Pacífico, Costa Rica posee alrededor de 400 volcanes, de los cuales 20 tienen un tamaño significativo y 5 de ellos permanecen activos. Estos se encuentran en la parte norte y central del país (Cordillera Volcánica Central y Cordillera Volcánica de Guanacaste). Los habitantes de estos sitios extremos generalmente explican la composición química de sus hábitats, ya que los microorganismos pueden catalizar muchas reacciones químicas que transforman su propio ambiente. Por lo tanto, la capacidad catalítica de estos microorganismos es interesante no solo para los estudios de microbiología ambiental y ecología microbiana, sino también para la biotecnología aplicada, ya que muchos de los organismos, o enzimas que pueden obtenerse de estos, pueden conducir a bioprocesos industriales (Baker BJ & Banfield JF, 2003 y Guazzaroni ME et al., 2013). A la fecha, pocos estudios sobre comunidades microbianas o bioprospección enzimas de interés han utilizado métodos genéticos, dentro de la corriente de las "ómicas" los cuales permiten un análisis exhaustivo de muestras originales y enriquecidas para la detección eficaz de nuevos genes codificadores de microorganismos (hiper-)termofílicos. Otros métodos como expresión heteróloga, caracterizaciones y optimizaciones de enzimas pueden conducir al desarrollo de nuevos catalizadores relevante para la industria. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de la presente investigación es la identificar nuevas extremozimas en ambientes asociados a volcanes de Costa Rica.

Abstract:
ecomaine manages solid waste for its member communities through an integrated strategy that includes a single sort recycling center, a waste-to-energy (WTE) power plant and a 250 acre landfill for residual ash. The public organization has over 40 member communities in Maine which equates to over 24% of the State’s population. Established as a non-profit in the 1970’s with a mission to address trash disposal for future generations, a comprehensive waste system has emerged. The method of balefilling municipal solid waste (MSW) was replaced by a state-of-the-art WTE facility in 1988 and the multiple-sort recycling system was upgraded to a single-sort advanced system in 2007. Roughly 170,000 tons of MSW are processed through the WTE facility each year. This results in an average of 83,000–105,000 megawatt-hours of electricity generated annually. Since 2005, recycling tonnage has increased 71% from 21,000 to 36,000 tons. The State of Maine established a “Solid Waste Management Hierarchy” in 2007 cascading in disposal preference from Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Compost, Waste-to-Energy to Landfilling MSW. ecomaine is researching the feasibility of implementing an organics recovery system that would include food waste to further advance the Solid Waste Hierarchy and State’s recycling goal of 50%. ecomaine continues to manage its resources through innovation that highlight the resiliency of an integrated waste management system. For example, ecomaine has adapted to periods of waste shortages through strategies of caching MSW during times of higher waste generation and storing that waste until it is needed. ecomaine selects cover material for temporary use that is combustible so that it can efficiently be processed through the WTE facility. When fuel is scarce, the cached material is returned to the WTE as a fuel input. Another example, of matching a waste to a beneficial reuse is ecomaine’s ash metals mining project for the recovery of both ferrous metals and valuable non-ferrous material from screened ash. ecomaine strives to sustainably treat residual waste streams after enhanced resource recovery, re-use and recycling efforts and embrace an integrated waste management system. While challenges face many waste disposal operations such as changing regulations, ecomaine communities believe an integrated system with a good design and forward-looking plant management allow for a robust and effective service, as the ecomaine example shows.

Abstract:
Due to the potentially dangerous properties of radioactive material, it is during the transport that the process of nuclear energy and technology uses are prone to nuclear and radiation accidents. Radioactive material hence must be transported with reasonable containers to achieve heat dissipation, confinement of radioactive material, radiation shielding and prevention of nuclear criticality. The key to transport safety lies in the designing and manufacturing quality of the transport containers. Therefore, the safety supervision for transport containers of radioactive material is a guarantee for the environment and the public from nuclear and radiation hazards, also is international general practice. As the most authoritative international organization, International Atomic Energy Agenda (IAEA) draws up and regularly revises safety regulation ‘Regulation for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material’, which proposes technical indicators for transport containers of radioactive material and responsibility of competent authorities. According to the transport modes, other international organizations, such as International Maritime Organization, International Civil Aviation Organization, International Air Transport Association, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, enacted related transport safety regulations based on actual needs. This paper introduces the administrative licensing approval process for the transport containers of radioactive material in China and the research on competent authority and approval procedure in American, Russia, France, Canada, Germany and Great Britain. In China, National Nuclear Safe Administration (NNSA) is responsible for the licensing approval for the transport containers of radioactive material, including designing, manufacturing, using and transporting of transport containers. NNSA also organizes and formulates relevant administrative regulations and approval procedures, and has issued administrative regulation ‘Regulation on the Safe Management for the Transport of Radioactive Material’ and a series of administrative rules, management procedures, guide, technical documents and so on. These regulations established the sort management of radioactive materials and the responsibility for competent authority, and also stipulated approval and supervision for transport and transport containers of radioactive materials. While some other countries, such as America, certifies the transport containers of radioactive material to achieve the control. The domestic and overseas research into administrative licensing approval processes for transport containers is in view of the increasing transport of radioactive material among countries and the requirement of international transport. Transport containers with material of high potential risk, such as spent fuel, need to obtain the transport approval from the competent authority of transit or arrival country. Therefore, the research on domestic and other countries licensing management of transport containers of radioactive material, which is not only beneficial to improving the transport safety management of radioactive material in China, but also can promote international transport campaigns of radioactive material..
