Abstract
This paper describes the work undertaken to establish a national radioactive material transport event review and analysis system and presents the findings and conclusions of a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of abnormal occurrences and irregularities involving radioactive material shipments which occurred in the 10-year reporting period from about 1995 - 2006 in Germany. The 10-year transport event review results provide evidence that implementation and application of the existing national and international regulatory controls and operational performance requirements ensure a high level of protection and safety in transport of radioactive material.
