Of the 100 million packages of hazardous materials shipped each year, about 2 million contain radioactive materials; of these, only about 350,000 pertain to the fuel cycle and to radioactive wastes. A brief description is given of the philosophy responsible for the safe transportation of radioactive materials for the past 30 years. The range of problems facing the industry in the transportation of radioactive materials is discussed. DOE established a Transportation Technology Center at Sandia Laboratories in order to meet these problems. (ERA citation 04:035886)
