Abstract
The design of the lifting points (trunnions) of packages of radioactive material is part of the safety analysis in the transport licensing procedure. Transport regulations to be applied /1/ - in Germany identical with the IAEA-Regulations /2/ - demand a safe design in view of the different operating and transport conditions. These rather general safety requirements have to be quantified in connection with applicable regulations. For this purpose national and international standards are in preparation (/3/, I 4/).
