RISKS OF TRANSPORT OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS ON THE ROAD; SOME EXPLORING CALCULATIONS PERFORMED WITH THE INTERTRAN-MODEL

Under the auspices of the IAEA a computercode, named INTERTRAN, has been developed in order to calculate the risks of the transport of radioactive materials. This code has to be tested nearer. For the Dutch situation a number of calculations have been performed of more or less realistic cases in which four transport routes are chosen. The risks thus obtained are compared quantitatively with the risks of LPG-transports.
