Book Description
The Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials is a handbook that details the safety guidelines in transporting radioactive materials. The title covers the various regulations and policies, along with the safety measures and procedures of radioactive material transport. The text first details the 1963 version of the IAEA regulation for the safe transport of radioactive materials; the regulation covers the classification of radionuclides for transport purposes and the control of external radiation hazards during the transport of radioactive materials. The next chapter deals with concerns in the implementation of the IAEA regulations on both national and international levels. Next, the selection presents a review of transport accidents and incidents. The text also covers the liability and insurance in the transport of radioactive materials, along with the U.K. practice on insurance and indemnity during the transport of radioactive materials. The book will be of great use to individuals involved in the nuclear power industry.

Book Description
The most recent volume in the Drinking Water and Health series contains the results of a two-part study on the toxicity of drinking water contaminants. The first part examines current practices in risk assessment, identifies new noncancerous toxic responses to chemicals found in drinking water, and discusses the use of pharmacokinetic data to estimate the delivered dose and response. The second part of the book provides risk assessments for 14 specific compounds, 9 presented here for the first time.

Book Description
Studies were undertaken to obtain a more accurate concept of the transport of radionuclides in aquatic systems. Various stages of this research were completed and published previously in progress reports, and are listed in the references. These reports describe the dispersion, uptake, release, and transport of /sup 89/Sr, /sup 137/Cs, /sup 103/Ru, /sup 58/Co and /sup 51/Cr. Transport data were obtained by conducting laboratory, model river, and field tests. Canal, river, and estuarine environmerts provided the necessary field information on hydrodynamic dispersion and on uptake and release of radionuclides by sediments. Model river data provided most of the useful uptake and release information involving special sediments, plants, and aquatic environments. Topics discussed include the factors affecting radionuclide transport, the use of model rivers to study cortinuous release of radionuclides, and the influence of various environmental factors on the accumulation and desorption of mercurials by a fresh water alga. Radioactive isotopes of mercury in the form of mercuric mercury and methyl mercury were used as tracers. (CH).

Book Description
This publication establishes the regulations that apply to the transport of radioactive material by all modes of transport on land, water or in the air, including transport that is incidental to the use of the radioactive material. The objective and scope of the regulations are described in detail as well as the range of their application. The publication provides requirements useful to governments, regulators, operators of nuclear facilities, carriers, users of radiation sources and cargo handling personnel. Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Definitions; 3. General provisions; 4. Activity limits and classification; 5. Requirements and controls for transport; 6. Requirements for radioactive materials and for packagings and packages; 7. Test procedures; 8. Approval and administrative requirements; Annex I: Summary of approval and prior notification requirements; Annex II: Conversion factors and prefixes; Annex III: Summary of consignments requiring exclusive use.
