Abstract
In 1990 the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS, Salzgitter) developed the Nuclear Material Transport Database to support the activities of the Federal Ministry of Nuclear Safety and other competent authorities in the FRG. The Nuclear Material Transport Database contains information on all kinds of transport of nuclear materials within the fuel-cycle in Germany. For reasons of inspection by local authorities every transport of nuclear material in the FRG should be notified 48 hours in advance. The 48-hours-notification is the principal source for the database. No accident with release of radioactive material occurred in this time-period. As in the previous time the numbers of incidents was low.
