QUALITY ASSURANCE OF PACKAGING USED FOR THE TRANSPORT OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, PART 4

RIKTLINJER FOER KVALITETSSAEKRING AV TRANSPORTBEHAALLARE FOER RADIOAKTIVT MATERIAL

The present document is intended as an example for the nordic countries how the quality assurance should be organized for different categories of packagings destined for radioactive materials. The start of this project comprised an inventory to find a representative selection of packagings used for the transport of different radioactive materials. Then, guidelines for the quality assurance were developed, including a classification of the packagings, a construction inspection and an experience feedback. The classification is performed according to a five-graded scale with consideration to the consequence for the environment. In this respect an estimate of the probability for defects and the consequence of defects, regarding the tightness of the packaging, is made (can the defect cause leakage or not). Both these estimates are made according to three-graded scales. A conclusion of all the above-mentioned parameters is drawn when control plans for production quality control and control plans for recurring inspection of individual packagings are worked out. The report also contains a description of what to consider, when control plans for a specific packaging are worked out. (a)
