Risk Analysis, 1991, vol. 11, issue 4, 655-660

Abstract: Annual radiation doses and risks to passengers and crew are calculated for shipments of radioactive materials in passenger aircraft under accident‐free and incident‐free conditions (i.e., under normal transportation conditions). The 1982 database developed by Sandia National Laboratories is used, and calculations are made using RADTRAN 4.0. This paper is one of two papers estimating radiological risk associated with incident‐free transportation of radioactive materials.
