Abstract
A safety analysis has been conducted for the transports of non-heat-generating (low - to medium-level) radioactive waste to the planned final repository KONRAD near Salzgitter in Germany. The expected annual transport volume is about 3400 shipping units. One main objective of the study was the assessment of radiological risks from transport accidents in the region of the final repository. Two shipping scenarios, which can be considered to bound the real conditions, were analyzed
