This report analyzes the radiological consequences and risks of transporting radioactive material (RAM) to and from U.S. nuclear power plants. The analysis defines risk paths along which the RAM transport occurs. Shipment information and unit-values of radiological consequence and risk are developed for each risk path and these are combined to determine annual radiological consequence for normal (incident-free) transportation and annual radiological risk due to RAM transport accidents. The results of the analysis are presented for the years 1985 and 1990.
