Development of Chinese database on safe transport of radioactive materials

Abstract

The paper introduces the newly established Chinese database, which is still in its initial stage of development, on the safe transport of radioactive materials in China. The database will collect data on several transport routes in China that presently have comparatively large transport volume. The database mainly includes data on transport management, transport incidents/accidents and road circumstances, etc. This will provide a data shared plane for departments in charge of packaging and transport and for research institutes. Areas of improvements in the future work are also mentioned at the end of the paper.
