The Transport of Radioactive Materials—A BNFL Viewpoint

Pages 101-106 | Published online: 19 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

Following a brief review of the international regulatory framework and its historical development, the principal priorities for the design and operation of a rellable transport system are defined and commented upon.

The paper examines the reasons for the increased pressures upon international nuclear transport. It is argued that a key factor is the gap between ‘actual’ and ‘publicly perceived’ safety.

BNFL's approach to achieving and demonstrating acceptable safety standards is described and proposals for broader international initiatives, with regard both to internal industry issues and external responses, are presented.
