Abstract
The transport of high-level radioactive wastes, involving Type B package, is a part of the safety of the Romanian waste management programme and the overall aim of this activity is to promote the safe transport of radioactive materials in Romania. The paper presents a safety case analysis of the transport of a single spent fuel CANDU bundle, using a Romanian built Type B package, from the CANDU type nuclear power plant (NPP) Cernavoda to the INR Pitesti, in order to be examined within INR's hot-celss facilities. The safety assessment includes the following main aspects: (1) evaluaiion and analysis of available data on road traffic accidents; (2) estimaiion of the expected frequency for severe road accident scenarios resulting in potential radionuclide release; and (3) evaluation of the expected radiological consequences and accident risks of transport operations.
