ASSESSMENT OF THE US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS ROUTING REPORT

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) requires post-notification of highway route controlled quantity shipments of radioactive materials. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the US Department of Energy (DOE), and NRC-licensed shippers of designated quantities of radioactive materials provide this post-notification to DOT. DOT compiles the routing data in the Radioactive Materials Routing Report (RAMRT). The RAMRT may be a useful source of data for research and development leading to improved safety and efficiency of highway shipments of radioactive materials.
