Abstract:

This guide is organized in four main sections. Section 1 contains a description of the history, regulatory framework and philosophy underpinning these guidelines. The route selection methodology is reviewed in Section 2, while Section 3 describes the application of the methodology and presents technical data needed to evaluate the safety factors that form the basis for the route selection process. The use of these safety factors to select preferred routes is also discussed. A sample case illustrating the application of the methodology is presented in Section 4. Worksheets to facilitate application of the method and documentation of the analysis are contained in Appendix E. A bibliography of general reference materials on radioactive material transportation is also provided as an appendix.
