Transport of Radioactive Material and Waste: The Challenges

The transport of Radioactive Materials and Radioactive Wastes involves a potential radiological hazard.

Transportation is an integral component of waste management and its safety is as much of public concern as the disposal system. When these materials are transported, they attract a great deal of public attention, and there is particular concern about shipments of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and RW.
