Abstract
Regulating the safe transport of radioactive materials necessitates certain basic provisions which may be summarised as follows:
-
(1)
control of the radiation emitted from the material;
-
(2)
containment of the material;
-
(3)
dissipation of any heat generated; and
-
(4)
for fissile material, prevention of criticality.
