Abstract
In Japan, safety assessments for transportation of nuclear fuels and radioactive wastes have been ever done individually about necessary items. The nuclear fuel cycle facilities is being constructed in Japan, to which various packages, e.g. Natural UF6, Spent Fuel, Low Level Waste and Returnable High Level Waste will be transported. Then CRIEPI has begun to assess the safety of transporting these packages by road or sea and in normal or accident condition (see Table-1). This paper will discuss the concept, process and some of the results of the total safety assessment in accident conditions.
