Transporting Nuclear Waste presents an overview of the processes involved in transporting nuclear waste. The wastes covered include spent nuclear fuel from reactors and missiles (high-level radioactive waste), as well as other forms. Radioactivity and its effects are discussed, as well as accident prevention, public safety, and emergency response models. Litigation, rulemaking, and the development of highway routing guidelines are also examined. Historical examples of nuclear storage facilities and transportation accidents are reviewed, and best practices and lessons learned will be presented. It addresses US Nuclear Regulatory Standards, but the information will be applicable worldwide.
