Abstract

The use of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) techniques to derive risk estimates for a wide range of industries is well accepted. One application of such techniques is to transport operations. This paper presents a review of the available literature concerning transport risk assessments of radioactive material (RAM) and other dangerous goods.
