INTERTRAN: A SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT FROM TRANSPORTING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

The document presents a system, provided to the IAEA by the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate, which offers a simple method to assess the impact from any transportation of packages of radioactive materials. The first part gives a detailed description of the model, giving examples of both incident-free calculations and accident calculations. Input parameters are described in the next section. The effect of a variation of an input variable on the output (sensitivity analysis) is estimated in another section, and, finally, a description of the computer code (named INTERTRAN) and of its input and output is given. The system is intended as a model easy to handle and use by all IAEA Member States.
