A postnotification record is required for all Highway Route Controlled Quantities of radioactive materials that are shipped in the United States. These reports, which are required by 49 CFR 172.203(d), are compiled in the Radioactive Materials Routing Report (RAMRT) database at the US Department of Transportation (DOT). Sandia National Laboratories' has developed an expanded version of the RAMRT which is entitled the Radioactive Materials Postnotification (RAMPOST) database. This paper provides the summary detail on the following topics: major carriers of highway route controlled quantities, major US Department of Energy (DOE) shippers, major US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) shippers and a breakdown of the types of Highway Route Controlled Quantities that have been shipped for the time period 1985--1990.
