報告徴収：
製錬事業者、加工事業者、原子炉設置者、外国原子力船運行者、使用済燃料貯蔵事業者、再処理事業者及び使用者は、核燃料物質などの運搬に関し人の障害（放射線障害以外の障害であって軽微なものを除く。）が発生し、もしくは発生する恐れがあるときまたは核燃料物質などが紛失したときは、その旨を直ちに、その状況及びそれに対する処置を１０日以内に国土交通大臣に報告しなければならない。
The normal ways of translating 障害, such as obstacle, disability, etc. don't really make sense here. What exactly, are they referring to with 人の障害? If you can give a translation and examples of things it could be, that would be great.
Thanks in advance for your help. |

25 mins confidence:   disorders observed [found] in human beings
Explanation:
"人の障害" here would mean disorders observed in human being.
Then, "核燃料物質などの運搬に関し人の障害が発生し" can be paraphrased as "transportation of nuclear fuel materials cause disorders in human beings".
