Abstract
The IAEA transport regulations (lAEA SS6 1990) require radioactive materials to be segregated sufficiently from workers, members of the public and photographic film. Specific values of annual effective dose for workers and members of the public are given for the purpose of cakulating segregation distances or radiation levels. Segregation distances for film are hased on a maximum exposure per consignment. The mathematical models. parameters and values to be used in calculating segregation distances are no longer in the regulations hut are in various other reports and these have been examined and reviewed for their consistency with current radiation dosimetry and operational procedures. This work was funded by DG XVII of the European Commission.
