Radiation Protection Management for Category I Materials Transport

Radioactive material transport implements graded administration in China. Radioactive materials are divided in three categories. Category I materials have large radioactivity and may induce very serious consequence, including spent fuel, high level radioactive waste, class I radioactive sources, etc. Due to strong radioactivity and possible serious consequence caused, radiation protection shall be done carefully for Category I Materials transport. Consignor, carrier and consignee play important role during radioactive materials transport, which liabilities are introduced. Radiation Protection Program, Emergency Response Program and Emergency radiation monitoring procedures shall be prepared in advance. Radiation Monitoring for Package and Conveyance include start radiation monitoring, in transit radiation monitoring, end radiation monitoring and emergency Radiation Monitoring. Individual protection focus on workers and the public who may be affected by RM transport. Some workers dose data are provided. Doses to persons shall be below the relevant dose limits. The doses to individuals are subject to dose constraints within the restriction. Protection and safety shall be optimized.
