APPLICATION TO RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS TRANSPORT OF RISK EVALUATION METHOD FOR HELP TO DECISION

Transport safety is based on application of international regulations which enforce criteria for packaging. Potential risks are taken into account. A probabilistic approach for risk evaluation during transport is very interesting, residual risk is appreciated and adequacy of regulation can be justified. Interest and limits of the method is shown on different examples; radionuclide transport UF/sub 6/ transport and the particular case of long tunnels.
