Abstract
This paper estimates probable collective doses owing to transport of radioactive material by road mode in India and the USA for an identical hypothetical case under respective transport conditions for the two countries, using the INTERTRAN2 computer code. The differences observed in the transport conditions in the two countries are reflected in the DNORM input parameters for the incident free transport conditions of transport and the accident rates. Owing to differences in the parameter values, it is found that the estimated probable collective dose values owing to transport of radioactive material by road mode for India are much higher than those for USA. Sensitive parameters are identified which contribute maximum to the estimated probable collective dose.
