SUGGESTIONS OF RADIATION PROTECTION INSTRUMENTS IN SHIPS USED FOR TRANSPORTING SPENT FUEL ELEMENTS FROM NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS TO CENTRAL STORES AND FURTHER TO FUEL REPROCESSING PLANTS

Some radiation protection measures are necessary in ships which will be used for transporting spent fuel elements from nuclear power plants to central stores and further to fuel reprocessing plants in order to protect the crew from unnecessarily high radiation doses and to ensure that not allowable values occur. Such measures are discussed in this report as well as suitable radiation protection instruments for such ships.
